HANG Drum, satisfy your soul

 

Hang Drum

It´s an instrument created by Felix Rohner and Sabina Scharer in Switzerland. It is made by steel sheet glued together. At the beginning, you had to write a card asking for the instrument, when your card was answered you would have to go to the house of the inventors to receive your Hang, because Rohner wanted  this instrument to be a privilege, now, they are not the only ones that can built them...
Excellent harmonies.
Just listen!

Reggae power

Reggae rythim began in jamaica. But first it was another genere called ska. This genere had an evoluion to reggae. This vibes were accepted by many jamaicans and this genere came with rastafari. Rastafari is a way of living which inherits traditions from india africa and judah tribe. They trust in many things related with jews and god. Bob marley was one of the firsts to expand this movment with the reggae power but always with an espiritual message.
