That was incredible, in my humble opinion......... I noticed a lot of those instruments appeared to have been built from scratch.......
Music is the universal language. Culture should never limit that. When people hear music in an unadulterated state, they're drawn to it. Like basic food and water. It doesn't matter where you're born and raised. It doesn't matter what your background is.
When people are not exposed to music in its unadulterated state, like in many industrialized countries of today (especially the United States), the culture is corrupt, in my humble opinion. We need to somehow circumvent our network media, and once again expose our youth to unadulterated music, and they will respond beyond our imaginations.
The piece performed in the clip was Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana"......................
