In the movie Latcho Drome, there are two main scenes which are focused on in the second half, which we watched on Monday. The first scene that was focused on was the scene in Romania. In this clip of the movie, the town villagers all begin to come out of their houses to participate in music and dances which seem to be driven by the musicians themselves. The instruments which are played in this scene consist of a violin, which is not being played as it is in Western music but instead plays a lot of melodic lines over and over again. Another instruments that emerges from one of the village houses is a type of aerophone, which looks a lot like the instrument that was presented to us last week ( can't remember the name). Another instrument that was presented in this scene was accordion which helped give the music more thickness. As the scene continues the villagers start to circle around each other and start to dance and listen to the virtuosity of the musicians. When the villagers are in a circle, another percussive instrument emerges which looks a lot like the instrument that we saw in a video last week.
Another scene in the movie which was focused on in the second half of the video was the scene with the train. Similar to the scene with the villagers this scene also contained violins which were not being played as it is in Western music. In addition, the musicians in this scene were using there hands to clap certain rhythms. The physically percussive quality of this scene distinguishes it however from the previous where most of the rhythm was carried by the percussive instruments.
