RE: Steemit Open Mic Week 134. “Oginski's Polonaise”/"Farewell to Homeland" // "Полонез Огинского"/"Прощание с Родиной". By @alexbiojs
Wow! I was not expecting a scientist to be strumming a guitar beautifully. Science and art together. Rare but certainly great combination! Not to mention that playing the guitar is my frustration. I was desparate to learn but I guess music doesn't like me.
music likes everyone )
It would be interesting to know for me what musical instruments are the most popular in Philippines.
As for Russia/Ukraine, the most popular musical instruments here are piano, guitar, violin, bayan/accordion and balalaika (to my knowledge).
Are there any unusual musical instruments in Philippines?
Do musicians play on streets in Philippines?
Guitar is one thing for sure that is widely used in the Philippines. Piano could be one but not so common. Others are usually only those who have bands who would usually have the drums and cymbals.
I know about ganza and sulibao as instruments in different provinces but I don't think these are unusual to our country. I see on TV that other Asian countries are using them, or at least the ganza. Try to google what these are and tell me what you think.
Oh well, I have seen a few musicians who play music along the streets. Others would be beggars, I have to admit.
thanks for sharing.
as for ganza and sulibao, I remembered that in Russia I saw once on the street quite unusual band of foreigners who were playing something like ganza and sulibao (and other instruments), but I'm not sure 100% that they played ganza and sulibao. Now I realized that they most likely were Filipinos. And I also have seen something like ganza and sulibao on TV.
