The Lowlands and urban centers of the Philippines feature lively musical traditions
that show strong European and American influence.

The rondalla is an ensemble of lutes and
guitars wit Spanish origins. Rondalla
groups play arrangements of European
classical music, popular songs, and folk
melodies in a concert setting. They also
sometimes accompany dancers who
perform an elegant mix of Spanish and
indigenous styles.

Marching bands play a celebratory role
in many festivals. In some areas,
the great expense of brass instruments

had let to the construction of similar
instruments from bamboo, and affordable
and abundant local material. Bamboo
bands, or musikong bumbong ensembles,
are a highlight of many town fiestas,
but they also perform at other community
events. Symphonic orchestras are
also typical of the lowland areas.

We read about the Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) on Trip Advisor - it was the top rated attraction in Phoenix - and now we can see why! The museum is dedicated to musical instruments from around the world - the collection is fascinating, the exhibits are great and the hands-on displays were fun. We spent almost 5 hours here and still felt rushed - this place is definitely worth a detour.

I know nothing about musical instruments so if you happen to know what a particular instrument is, please feel free to comment on it. I tried to include as many labels as possible.

The museum is in Phoenix, AZ - we visited it in March 2014.
