Pangkat Kawayan - Children's Bamboo Orchestra Of The Philippines

Plaka Pilipino - LP

Philippines, 1973

Bamboo Music

Great record by the Pangkat Kawayan, the "singing bamboos of the Philippines", an orchestra known for playing music using non-traditional bamboo instruments : "bumbong" (bamboo tube), "talungating" (bamboo marimba), "tipangklung" (bamboo piano)... playing traditional Philippines melodies as well as modern popular music (Billy Burton) or classical music (Johann Strauss).
