- Description
- Although the slit drum, or gong, is used for sending messages among this Congo tribe which lives beside the Bushimaie tributary of the Sankuru, itself a tributary of the Kasai, the great southern aem of the Congo River, it is also used as an accompaniment for dances. It is not known for certain whether it is used to communicate with the dancers during the course of a dance, as is the common practice in West Africa; but from present evidence this appears to be unlikely among the Kanyoka. Kalibambo dance song with 2 Silimba xylophones, 1 slit drum, 3 gobolet drums, handbeaten and 2 basket rattles.
