Adventureland Music

[emmersandjack]

Ok, so I know that the question of where to find any of the background, or ambiance, music has been exhausted here to the point of nausea, but I think my question is a little different.
After perusing the internet to find the music heard in Adventureland, I've come across some good sources...however, one site led me to a band called the Balafon Marimba Ensemble. Now, a quick preview of the music definitely sounds like Adventureland, but I am afraid that my ears are deceiving me and it's not the real thing.
Can anyone help?:shrug:

From what I've heard that is right. It is from a CD from the same name. I'm not sure if it is still used but I know that it has been used in the past.

Here is a website with information about it:

I hope that helps :wave:

Yes, the Adventureland area music is indeed by the Balafon Marimba Ensemble.

That is an excellent blog. Ok, I confess, it's mine. Thanks for linking it to the question.

Half right. The area music also uses music from Guem, an African percussionist. If you go to the link above, I made a playlist based on a recording I did a few months ago.

Thanks everyone so much! I knew that if I asked here I would get some good answers!

Just recently, I have realized that for some reason the music of Adventureland and pretty much all of Animal Kingdom calm me down when I'm feeling anxious. I am in the middle of an accelerated nursing program and my stress level can get pretty high, and I've noticed that when I hear that music I instantly calm down. So, since I kind of need my sanity, I thank all of you for your help!:wave:

Since you seem to have a very extensive knowledge of the music played at Disney, would you possibly know where to find the Christmas Animal Kingdom Entrance Loop?

I have asked all over the web but no one seems to know??

All of the music should be commercially available, although I have never took the time to make a playlist. Maybe I'll try this year, but given that all of the songs are most likely available for purchase, most of the main outlets for obtaining park media likely won't have it.
