Notes:
Percussion - 3 players:PVC tubes: 2 plumbing tubes, about 6cm diameter, length not less than 2m for the fifth C G; a kneeling tube at the end is best to direct the sound upwards. The tubes are jacked up so that they can be beaten with slippers or sneakers.
Mokongo: 2 suspended wooden sticks, 3-5cm in diameter, 2-3m length, derived from an African idea. Different striking locations produce different timbres. All 3 percussionists should have space next to each other on the mokongo when playing simultaneously.
Steel drum, preferably lower version
Slit drum(s), tones C E G F are notated, but the octave position is free.
Metal stick, preferably up to 1m long, with good resonance
Rubbing board, producing a rich "sh" (rain sound), electrically amplified (alternatives for "rain" are also conceivable)
Chromatic Harmonica
(Bass) Marimba
Xylophone
Bass drum
