I hope this Recording will inspire and show the Listener that the Instruments
Percussion not necessarily has to be "boom & bang" although that also can have its charm.
There are however mostly "hit songs"" on these recordings (suitable since "hit" also can mean "strike"!).
It's my hope that the Music and the Instruments in this way will find new Audiences?!

The Marimba is the Instrument that I've chosen although there should have been Vibraphone,
Bells etc in some Songs. This is because I personally prefer this instrument because of its wide
range and its mighty tone. To make a difference in the different Voices character I shift Mallets
since their difference in hardness makes one Instrument sounding like many different!

According to the Swedish Encyclopedia KROUMATA (by Sture Olsson) does the Greek "CHROTXO" mean "I hit".
It's a word diversion that has lead to the German "Krustische Instrumente" - these instruments are all which sounding
parts are brought to vibration by hitting, snapping, clicking, scratching, stroking... in other words: Percussion Instruments!
