the umbrella name for several marimba endeavors originating from Newmarket, NH.

In 2008, New England's first African-style marimba band was formed and played in the music underworld for several years. Everyone who would hear the marimbas was spellbound at the delightful sound. But at first approach, most people would tilt their heads the way dogs do and ask "What's a marimba?". It was such a predictable question that this first band took on the question as a name - fwhatza marimba - with a weird spelling twist and intentional capitalization heresy. 

The band fwhatza marimba faded into the underground as the machinery of Gudenov Marimbas started to churn. Gudenov Marimbas is the second endeavor, excelling in handmade practice marimbas that are mostly ok. If you're interested in a Gudenov Marimba, check out this page.

Next came Pacific Marimba, Boston's favorite marimba band , followed quickly by Patti and the Pop Tarts.

All of these creature projects live together harmoniously as the Gudenov Marimbas nation, which is thriving tax free in New Hampshire, USA.
