Unkalung Music

I can practically guarantee that this record will feature something new and different for you. These ladies are playing an instrument I've never heard of called an unkalung, or more commonly an angklung. Not sure why this group has gone with an alternate name, but to my eyes they're the same instrument. (When you search for unkalung, all the results seem to be this group, so I'm a bit confused about the name. Took me a while to come up with angklung based on a description.) It's a sort of handbell made of bamboo as near as I can understand it. It's a unique sound that I don't think you have heard applied to Christmas music before. And the ladies make it all sound good. This is The Unkalung Choir-A Child Is Born (Delta DRS84-424, Stereo, 1984)
