Street Zitherists


When I was in Barcelona last month, I was fortunate enough to hear two women playing hammer-zithers, also known as cimbaloms. It was first time I had ever heard one being played and while the two women didn't react to applause at all or interact with the audience, I found their singularly focused attention on their instruments peaceful and meditative. It was definitely a very cool experience and one that I will remember for quite a while.
