So, Sean Williams (the ethnomusicologist faculty at Evergreen, now I'm really sorry I never took a class with her,) came to do a short unit on music, how to teach it and how to use it to cement classroom community, as well as a quick mini-rundown of a slice of Indonesian culture. She brought her Angklung and dogdog (vowels same as in Spanish,) and had the class learn one of the traditional fertility songs. It was SUPER fun. She explained to us that the place where she had lived had people who were so tuned to musical jokes (there are many in a town angklung performance; it's all about sex, and makin' stuff grow, you know,) that they would bring popular music riffs into it, and occasionally break out into pop songs.
I was curious about whether I could find anything on trusty ol' youtube. This is kind of brain hurting, but I like it.
