Description
Written by Mattias Schmitt as an homage to the rhythms of Ghana, Ghanaia has become a very popular solo for marimba. Schmitt's use of African rhythms combined with his European musical experiences make this piece a joy to play. A very good piece for the beginning to intermediate 4-mallet player. The piece uses some very important 4-mallet techniques such as Double Vertical and Single Vertical techniques.

This was my first four mallet marimba piece, and I found it to be a wonderful starter piece. Its heavy syncopation helps you develop control over all four mallets, and the piece itself uses all different types of strokes. The only downside to Ghanaia is that it is highly repetitious. Once you've mastered Yellow After The Rain (because that's where everyone starts), this piece would be a natural next step.
