CHINA :)
In this video, you can see the assortment of instruments as well as dancers. The song starts out with the drums. If you look closely at the red background, it appears to be bells. Someone is standing behind them all and playing them throughout the song. There is a flute and sheng. We learned about that instrument in class. I felt so cool being able to see it and recognise it. The dancers start dancing a little after the music starts. They seem very similar to the Indian style of dance. They could influence each other concidering how close they are to one another.
AUSTRALIA
This video is pretty cool. It is basically a bunch of pictures. In them it shows the people imitating the kangaroo. It shows how they would wear tribal paint all over their bodies and dance around. The music in the background is the didgeridoo. :) The person in this video is doing a much better job than Donna today :) I really would be interested about learning more about the Australian music. After going over it in class i have become very excited about learning more.
GERMAN
When i look at this picture i laugh at how much this is truely my dipiction of a german folk band. The attire is perfectly captured. From the leather overall shorts to the shoes the artist of this picture has really done his research. The instrument in this band show the instruments that would typically be used in a german folk band. I guess i used this picture because it made me laugh :)

I love the didgeridoo! It just sounds so cool! I'm glad you found this for us to hear! Thanks!!
The German folk band picture is very cool. I also enjoyed the video on the music of Australia. The slide show was really cool as well.
Great videos! You are correct about the bells in the background in the Chinese video. The interesting thing is how much they seem to be used since their discovery in the 1970's. I posted a video about their discovery on my blog, if you are interested.
I had seen this didgeridoo video when I was researching our presentation. I am truly impressed with just how difficult it is to play the instrument. I could never do circular breathing on oboe and I can just imagine doing it on didgeridoo!
And the German band pic was good, too. I think the artist nailed that one!
