- Description
- The bambo slatted instrument made of a raft of palm fronds is called the female instrument- in spite of the fact that it is the bass instrument. The players only played the two lowest notes as if, he said "they were drums." This is one of the many Lulua funeral songs and is sung by those friends and relatives who go to condole with a bereaved parent. Mourning song with 2 box chisanzhi, 1 chisanzhi-chinene, 2 goblet drums, pinned, weighted, closed, with mirlitons and 1 basket rattle (ligazi).
