That vid was fine, but didn't soound like it conatined any
acoustic kalimba. It was like Africa trying tragically to be
all Western and shit. Cool vid though.

This is cool too- all by one guy

At first I thought it might be better to have one with more
plucky bits on it (mine has 7). However, after watching vids
of people playing kalimbas similar to mine, I can see that
there can still be a lot one can do with a small kalimba. A
lot of interesting melodies can be achieved.

Wow- that's really cool, African electro- cheers man!

This is cool vid is cool. Although it isn't electronic or
kalimba, I think Dance music in general owes a lot to the
constant, strong rhythms of traditional African music. Hence
Steve Reich studying African percussion and various other
shiz that undoubtedly supports this statement.

Forget nightclubs- go to Africa!
