wow, that orchestra set up is really different. I didn't really think about how other orchestras are set up before, so I'm glad that you posted this video! I also do like the last video, I have always thought that percussion sounds cool.
That first video is amazing! I kept looking to find a decent video of that kind of dancing and failed miserably, so I'm glad I got to see it on your blog. Not only are the dancers amazingly precise and their expressions priceless, but the costuming is beautiful. Great post!
Hey Mary, I really like the first video. I always imagine that the people are making the music with their movements and facial expressions which reminds me of this video I found where a guy did just that:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh8YYONrLIc
Love the Saharan music--makes me want to get up and dance (alas, I must keep grading...) And the Indonesian dance video is much like what we saw in class--always nice to have some confirmation!
