ساز سنتی: ماریمبا - چوبی که میخواند

According to Daniel Rager’s publication entitled The History of the Marimba, “The Marimba in its simplest form originated［…］long ago. It was one of the earliest melodic instruments made by ［hu］man［s］and references suggest it was widespread throughout Asia and Africa.” Indeed, according to the American marimbist and ethnomusicologist Vida Chenoweth, approximately fifteen hundred years ago, a group of Malayo-Polynesian speaking peoples migrated to Africa, probably to Madagascar, and carried a xylophone-type instrument with them.
