- Description
- One drummer raised and lowered the pitch of his drum by pressing his left elbow on and off the membrane of the drum. This excellent item gives a good impression of the spirit of the Mambala dance, the attractive lift to the rhythm, the sure participation of the dancers and the clever drumming of the men. The tone value of the mirliton placed on the side of the closed drums is well illustrated. The Mambala is clearly an enjoyable dance. Mambala dance with 4 goblet drums, closed, pinned, weighted with mirlitons and hand beaten, pieces of wood struck together, metal bell used as rattle
