Disney, Part One

Just a quick one here--one of my favorite things about going to DisneyWorld is hearing all of the wonderful performers throughout the park. Here are some of the sites from EPCOT:

Mariachi Cobre in Mexico. Several violins, two small guitars that I assume might be vihuelas, and the large acoustic bass guitar called a guitarron. The singing is in thirds and done in call and response fashion.



Mo' Rockin in Morocco. The lead singer/violinist composes these wonderful Moroccan rock songs with the keyboardist rapping in Arabic. The drummer is playing a cool drum machine.



The Voices of Liberty--an a cappella vocal group in the American pavillion:


Three women playing taiko drums in Japan:


A woman playing a guzheng, or Chinese zither, in a hall in China:


This doesn't include the shots I didn't get, like Off Kilter (a Canadian/Celtic rock band with a lead bagpiper) and the awesome sax quartet in the Magic Kingdom that feature a curved soprano and a bass sax.

I'll get some pictures up of our performance soon.
