Music like Bamboo Forest

Bamboos are a diverse group of mostly evergreen perennial flowering plants making up the subfamily Bambusoideae of the grass family Poaceae. Giant bamboos are the largest members of the grass family, in the case of Dendrocalamus sinicus individual culms reaching a length of 151 feet, up to fourteen inches in thickness and a weight of up to 990 pounds. The internodes of bamboos can also be of great length. Kinabaluchloa wrayi has internodes up to 8.2 feet in length. and Arthrostylidium schombergkii with lower internodes up to 16 feet in length, exceeded in length only by Papyrus. By contrast, the culms of the tiny bamboo Raddiella vanessiae of the Kaieteur Plateau in French Guiana are only 0.4–0.8 inches in length by about one-twelfth inch in width. The origin of the word "bamboo" is uncertain, but it probably comes from the Dutch or Portuguese language, which originally borrowed it from Malay or Kannada.
