The xylophone instrument is a kind of percussion which is made of wood or metal plates arranged in order of their heights. It is played with small sticks-something like a hammer-(malt). Each plate is set to a specific note, you can make different melodies and rhythms by hitting the small hammer to different plates.
Music in Cologne
Cologne, once home to the Popkomm pop show and the German rock center from BAP to Klaus Lage is now less active in the music industry. Many independent artists, such as Peter Leach, Kelly, or Erdobble, appreciate this far-fetched position for its freedom. The father of pop music in Cologne are members of the international rock band Can. The genre of rock in music, which originated in the early 1970s, is now world-renowned. In addition, the city is very popular due to various music carnivals.
