Smithsonian Folkways Trivia!
Each month we'll ask a trivia question; email your answer, name, and address with the subject "August Trivia" to SmithsonianFolkways@si.edu by August 31, 2011, and a randomly selected entrant with the correct answer will win a free CD of his or her choice!
August Question: : Zakir Hussain, featured on Ustad Mohammad Omar: Virtuoso from Afghanistan and on three albums in The Mickey Hart Collection, plays what Indian percussion instrument featuring two hand drums of different sizes and timbres?
Congratulations to last month's winner, Grinnell from Los Angeles, California, who correctly answered “Wild Thing” to the question: Chip Taylor, who recorded the forthcoming Smithsonian Folkways album Golden Kids Rules with his three granddaughters, wrote what song that was a chart-topping hit for The Troggs in 1966?
