00:00:00
Speaker 1: All right, Cape Town is about to become the mecha of marimba music. More than a thousand musicians from South Africa and abroad will gather for the inaugural Is it the inaugural Marimba World Championships, celebrating music, culture and talent essentially, and one of the people behind it is that Hiara Ramclass of Murumba jam who joins us now to tell us how this world first event came to life. We're also going to be hearing a sample of marimba music. We've got two marim well, we've got two marimbas in studio and one marimba player. Although given what I was doing on the old murimba during the news, I'd say that we do have two murimba prayers in the studio because because I was bashing out a version of the national anthem that I think was Dylan thoughts on that.
00:00:46
Speaker 2: Oh, it was.
00:00:51
Speaker 1: Ki welcome. Good to have you with us.
00:00:52
Speaker 2: Hello, Hi, good morning, Sarah Jans. Lovely to be here.
00:00:55
Speaker 1: It's lovely to have you with us. First of all, tell us you are a Guinness World record holder. I need to know more about this.
00:01:01
Speaker 2: It was actually a year ago, remember this at Grand West, Grand West.
00:01:06
Speaker 1: Yes, were you part of all that jazz?
00:01:08
Speaker 2: Yeah? We hosted it with one thy one hundred and seventy seven mrumba players all playing together. It was beautiful and it was actually the inspiration to bring everyone back from across the globe.
00:01:20
Speaker 1: When did you first pick up that what do we call those sticks?
00:01:23
Speaker 2: Yar mallets?
00:01:24
Speaker 1: Mallets? Oh, that's good. When did you first pick up a marimba mallet?
00:01:30
Speaker 2: Twenty years ago?
00:01:31
Speaker 1: Not possible?
00:01:32
Speaker 2: Yes? Grade six?
00:01:34
Speaker 1: Okay? Grade how old?
00:01:36
Speaker 2: I was twelve years old when I first started playing.
00:01:39
Speaker 1: Where did you go to school?
00:01:41
Speaker 2: Wineberg Girls?
00:01:41
Speaker 1: Okay? And there's a veritable.
00:01:45
Speaker 2: Very very big murumba culture, even in the primary school and the high school. So I played throughout.
00:01:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. What struck you about the marimba? What did you love about it?
00:01:56
Speaker 2: I played many instruments, but the murumba was the one that just made me feel more alive and happy. It's like, you can't actually feel sad when you listen to this instrument or play it. It.
00:02:07
Speaker 1: I was living my best life when we were during the years. That was so fun. Do you think that one it's a primary instrument or do you think it's a secondary or third instrument for somebody.
00:02:19
Speaker 2: Good question. For me, it was like this was the instrument that was primary to me and you could actually take it further.
00:02:26
Speaker 1: And but I mean in terms of does it help to because you said to me when I was messing about, oh, can you play the piano, and I said, yes, so does that help with.
00:02:37
Speaker 2: Yes, it does because it's a melodic instrument. So you're learning the chords and you know the foundations of music on the marimbas, and that's kind of the basis of music. Yeah, so yeah, definitely.
00:02:48
Speaker 1: Is it Is it structured in the same way in terms of learning, in terms of like grades grade six on the marimba.
00:02:56
Speaker 2: You know, you can structure it in that way and you can take it as a subject all the way until metric. But for us, we structure it in like developmental levels, you know, so even half of that, like a grade one how to hold the sticks?
00:03:10
Speaker 1: You know that that speaks to me because I became very again I've been talking about how educationally are begating very disillusioned with everything. But but musically I hit a bit of a wall with with piano and music theory because I just I wanted to just I wanted it to be more natural, more organic and not and now you need to play this piece of music, and if you play well enough according to this, then we're going to give you. I just wanted to I wanted to get better, but I wanted it to be fun, and kind of doing the grades took a bit of the fun out of it for me. Honestly, I think I'd have been going great guns if there had been a remember yeah, mamember class at my school.
00:03:47
Speaker 2: It's so special because you don't even need to know how to read music to lass instrument. So that's the you know, the natural Yeah, that's how we teach it with the oral muscle memory in all of the schools that we work with.
00:03:58
Speaker 1: And then in terms of I mean, presumably there's a marimba in an orchestra, is there there's.
00:04:03
Speaker 2: A classical version like those tiny little ones. Glock and spiels are very very popular block and as I used to call, okay, same idea, How does that? How does how does a xylophone or a glockenspiel differ from what we're looking at here?
00:04:19
Speaker 1: Are you not very similar?
00:04:21
Speaker 2: It's similar in a way. The wood is different, so you use like more of a high quality rosewood. They the nota but slimmer right, so it has a bit of a higher pitch here. We have like very deep tones and the woods are we use padduck word, it resonates differently, so it vibrates and creates like this, you know, different rhythmic tones.
00:04:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay, So the first ever Marimber World Championships are coming. Talk to us about this. What what do you mean World Championships? Is it a competition?
00:04:51
Speaker 2: Yes, so it's it's a competition, but it's also a gathering of Marumba band so you know, we all of our community and celebrating that. So we just said, yes, come, we're going to put on a competition because it's great for bands to express themselves and feel celebrated on stage. And they will compete in different age categories, different genre categories, Classical, pop, African. Yeah, so it's going to be a very special gathering of the versatility of how you can play this instrument. We have bands coming from all across the country, even all of our neighboring countries, so that's part of the celebration.
00:05:29
Speaker 1: Then, you know, the theme is harmony in diversity. What are you hoping that participants audiences are going to take away from these championships.
00:05:40
Speaker 2: To us, that theme was very profound right now because we have participants coming from Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namobia Swatini and it's about celebrating the fact that we are different. We create different styles of music, but it's the marimba that connects us and so it's that harmony and diverse and really you know, saying we are here to welcome and celebrate everyone, because that's what makes this instrument such a beautiful way to connect people.
00:06:09
Speaker 1: Where is this Where is this happening?
00:06:11
Speaker 2: By the way, It's happening at Saint Cyprian's School in uh just or a in the.
00:06:18
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, yes, oh nice? Yeah, oh very good. Where is it going to? In the hall?
00:06:23
Speaker 2: We have multiple stages running at the same time, so yeah, we building a massive stage in their multi purpose hall. We're using their main hall. It's the different age divisions. We have a Golden champ stream for the young ones. It's more fun less competitives.
00:06:37
Speaker 1: So young how young is young?
00:06:39
Speaker 2: So we have seven year olds coming to perform all the way up until the adult bands that will enter. So it's really you and you compete in your age categories. Okay, yeah, and.

Now that we know they're in Cape Town, VICKI, I'd like for them to come and visit us because now if they're going to be here, so can we get on that please for next week? Sorry for that, but there we go. I've wanted to have them in studio. I mean, they've been on America's Got Talent. Folks. If you are not following Beco's Manor Manor m A Double Na on social media, do yourself as a big favorite. They are three siblings from Joe Berg who who have all been gifted the most remarkable musical talent and an older sister brother and little Tao who is he's not that little anymore, but I mean the youngest one. And they are so remarkably talented. How did you manage to get them on?
00:08:04
Speaker 2: You know, we said, who better to headlines than actual children who are going to inspire all of the kids at this event.
00:08:12
Speaker 1: They're going to be on Saturday or Sunday.
00:08:13
Speaker 2: They will be on the Sunday during the finale, So that's kind of the fan fair, and you know, if the public really wants to showcase, I'd recommend that finale four point thirty on the Sunday.
00:08:23
Speaker 1: We're going to be there like a fan girl. You are welcomeiac I really that they are. They're remarkable. Talk to us a little bit about the work that you're doing with Maurumba Jam because you're going into schools. Yeah, talk about that.
00:08:36
Speaker 2: We're working with hundreds of kids a week, and we we send our teachers, we train them. Most of them actually were in the Marumba bad just like me at school and now are trained to be professional teachers and performers. And we we work with schools all across Cape Town Johannesburg and we even started in Durban this year. So really it's about spreading the love that we will have for murumba with more kids. And yeah, and we also have a professional performing band and those are the ones who come out from school and really want to take this further as a profession and so then they can go to weddings, corporate functions and we are building out you know, how to take the murumba further than just an extra mural instrument, which is great at all, but now you can actually see your role models on stage. So the professional m rumba bands will also be performing at this finale and that's really inspiring for a young player.
00:09:29
Speaker 1: I've never seen somebody looking unhappy playing them, remember exactly, I really haven't. I don't think it's possible. I don't. There's something about the instrument. I mean, aside from just the sound, which is just glorious. We have got Courtney and Studio with this, and I think we're expecting CECLA. Yes, is CCLA here or not yet here? Not yet here? Do we need to wait? Do we need to wait? Or is can Courtney Courtney? Can you do something alone? Are you happy to do that, Oh, Courtney, come on, excellent stuff. That's fantastic.

And one of them played the bassoon and the other one played the French horn and we were talking about that. But that as I'm watching you, I'm like, this could be the thing that I do now. I could, you know, as I as I edge ever closer towards my fifties, I could I could get involved. Am I too old to learn to play them? I remember?
