- Description
- Although the message drums of central and west Africa are unknown south of the Congo basin, young herd boys have long used a whistling language in which the tone of the phrases they wish to convet are whistled to each other at some distance, often at a safe distance on the other side of a river because much of what they whistle may be humorous or even disrespectful to the stronger or older of the small fry. The first part is a whistled conversation, usually done at some distance apart. The second part is a sample conversation in which the boys say the words that they had whistled to demonstrate the rise and fall of tone. Whistling conversation.
