- Description
- In the hilly country of North Eastern Congo and in the great tropical forest basin of the Ituri, the Tipoyi or Sedan chair is still the only means of passenger transport away from the main roads. Not only officials but most native chiefs and notables are carried in this manner by four or more bearers, who after the fashion of all Africans use special occupational songs for this kind of work. Tipoyi carriers song, with two wooden pod shaped slit drums and two cylindrical slit drums.
