- Description
- His Bango is unusual in that it has two tin resonators, one at each end. He played the strings with his left hand and beat a simple pulse on one of the resonators with his right hand and miming the action at the word "Ndito", 'truly'. For the second song he turned his Bango round and held it at right angels pointing away from him touching the strings with his left hand and striking them with his right. This is the normal way of holding the instrument. The performer looked like a little old elf. Lament with Bango zither with 7 metal strings
