Sounds Like: Everything you hear is played live!

This video is narrated by NPR's Shanna Lewis and it gives an overview of Bones' Educational Programs as well as compressed footage and sound from some live performances.

Utilizing the most cutting edge technologies, Bones is able to play and layer a variety of unusual instruments (Marimbas, Steel Drums, Didgeridoos, Congas, Bongos, Timbales, Djembe, Djun Djun and Drum-set) with positive vocals in 4 languages to create a rich mosaic of complex, yet very accessable dance music.
