- Description
- The Chisanzhi Mbira is the traditional type of the district: the basket rattle is a well-known woven article with a handle; the rattles had wooden handles and an open work basket head with beer bottle tops inside. The bottle is a common percussion instrument among the Lulua and the singing gourd is the favourite instrument of women's choirs in southern Congo into which they sing, lip or hum notes related to the fundamenta; note of the gourd. The somewhat strange sound of the singing gourd is the first heard at approximately 1m:30s from the start of this song. Maringa dance with Chisanzhi Mbira, two pairs of rattles, basket rattle, singing gourd bottle and clapping
