The Lion Sleeps Tonight (Mbube) | An Unbelievable 5th-Grade Marimba Performance!
Aug 13, 2026
Lava Ridge Mallet Masters (5th Grade Honors) perform The Lion Sleeps Tonight (Mbube) as a fast-paced marimba ensemble arrangement. This elementary marimba group is directed by Matthew Crawmer. Arrangement by Walt Hampton. This song is a good test for students demonstrating time, feel, and ensemble listening skills in this energetic performance. We had fun with this one! :)
