  • Description: Played with 4 notes. The notes were roughly hewn pieces of wood laid across the thighs ans played by means of sticks. In this case, the player stood behind the back of the young man on whose thighs the notes were played and beat the notes bending forward over his shoulders. The man acting as xylophone stand sat on a stool with his feet on another stool. Beneath his thighs was a large pot used as simple external resonator. The instrument is played out in the fields when preparing the winter gardens in May. Once the gardens are planted, the xylophone notes are discarded and used as fire wood, new ones being cut each year. The position of the loose notes was changed with each change of tune to facilitate the playing of the item. The pause during the 3rd recording was caused by one of the notes rolling down the boys's thigh and having to be replaced. Self-delectative song with Chikirekore loose note xylophone x 4 notes, pot resonated.
