- Description
- These gourds are peculiar to this tribe. The performer vibrates her lips in the mouth of the gourd (as if playing a trumpet) thus producing the resonant note of the gourd. At the same time she pats the side of the gourd rhythmically with one hand or with a piece of stick or metal. The two gourds and rhythm appears to be:- //1, ; 3, 4, ; 6, 7, ,//. Funeral song with two singing gourd.
