- Description
- The old singer is a great favourite in the district, the local Zande enjoying his songs of historical flavour. "Zilo went to the Chief to plead forgiveness for his son. The Chief forgave him on condition that he troubled the people no more and became the Chief's servant." The membrane of the harp is made of the ear of an elephant, laced onto the instrument. The Zande have a wild military past and ruled a large tract of country along both sides of the Congo-Sudan border. Topical song with vertical, angular, kundi harp, 5 strings and hand clapping.
