Some African Stringed Instruments

Adama Dicko & Seno Blues Music

AFRICAN STRINGED INSTRUMENTS

The richness of African musical styles is matched only by the continent’s enormous variety of musical instruments. While most instruments in Africa serve roles that go beyond simple entertainment, stringed instruments in particular have long played a role in maintaining oral traditions, preserving genealogies, and accompanying religious and ritual ceremonies. Although there are hundreds of different types of stringed instruments across the continent, they can broadly be divided into into bowed (fiddles), plucked (harps, lutes, zithers, harp-lutes, harp-zithers) and beaten (musical bows, earth-bows) types.

The kora, the long-necked harp lute of the Mandinka people, is by far the most well known in the West, and since the 1970s its ethereal sound has conquered the global stage. The orutu is one of many bowed string instruments played across Africa. By far the most common is the goje or “Hausa Violin” and its many variations, a one or two stringed fiddle traditionally tied to pre-Islamic rituals in the Sahel and Sudan. Lutes are found in many different parts of Africa. Lyres are most typical of northeastern Africa, both as traditional instruments and in their updated, “modernized” versions. The krar (a five-or-six stringed bowl-shaped lyre tuned to the pentatonic scale) for example is still commonly played by traditional storytellers.
Zithers are another instrument with plucked strings but, unlike the lute, they have no neck. Different types of zither can be found in various parts of Africa, but are by far most common in Madagascar, where the valiha tube zither, constructed with 21 and 24 strings made by unwound bicycle brake cable tied through nails, running the length of a long bamboo pole, is considered a national instrument.

Many stringed instruments across Africa play specific social roles: some serve ritual or religious purposes, while others can only be played by people of a certain age, s*x, or status. In the Luo community from Western Kenya for example only men are traditionally allowed to play the orutu, while among Moorish griots of Mauritania the ardine is only played by women. But music is living and breathing, sounds are constantly evolving and traditions are being challenged. In Kenya Labdi Ommes has taken up the orutu, combining it with electronic music and jazz, and exposing a whole new generation to this traditional instrument. And while some ancient string instruments have been lost, others are being “rediscovered” by younger generations, modernized and incorporated into different genres.

Some hints to think about 👇

THIS YOU WILL NEVER LEARN IN SCHOOL

° Africa area = 30,37 million km2
° China area = 9,6 million km2
° US area = 9,8 million km2
° Europa area = 10,18 million km2
● Africa is bigger than all of Europe, China and the United States of America together.
● But on most world maps, Africa is represented in downsize.
This is deliberately done to create the visual effect of a small Africa to manipulate, brainwash, and deceive Africans wherever they are.
- Africa has 60 % arable land;
- Africa owns 90 % of raw material reserve;
- Africa owns 40 % of the global gold reserve;
- Africa, 33 % of diamond reserve;
- Africa has 80 % of Coltan's global reserve (mineral for telephone and electronics production), mainly in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
- Africa has 60 % of global cobalt reserve (mineral for car battery manufacture)
- Africa is rich in oil and natural gas.
- Africa (Namibia) has the world's richest fish coastline.
- Africa is rich in manganese, iron and wood.
- Africa is three times the area of China, three times the area of Europe, three times the United States of America.
- Africa has thirty-half million km2 (30 875 415 km2);
- Africa has 1,3 billion inhabitants (China has 1,4 billion inhabitants in 9,6 million km2).
Which means Africa is SUBPOPULATED.
-The arable lands of the Democratic Republic of Congo are capable of feeding all of Africa.
And all of Africa's arable land is a cord to feed the whole world.
- The Democratic Republic of Congo has important rivers that can illuminate Africa.
The problem is that the CIA, western companies and some African puppets have destabilized DRC for decades.
- Africa is a culturally diverse continent in terms of dance, music, architecture, sculpture, etc.
- Africa accommodates 30.000 medicinal recipes and herbs that the West modifies in its laboratories.
- Africa has a young global population that should reach 2,5 billion by the year 2050.

Ariel view of "Mosi oa-Tunya" ("the smoke that thunders") popularly known as Victoria Falls. It is located on the border between Zambia 🇿🇲 and Zimbabwe 🇿🇼

Here Are Top Ten Interesting Facts You Probably Didn’t Know About Mosi oa-Tunya

1) IT IS THE LARGEST WATERFALL IN THE WORLD

It is the world's largest waterfall. It is twice the height of North America’s Niagara Falls, and is only rivalled by Iguazu Falls in South America. It is 108m tall and 1708m wide.

2) Mosi oa-Tunya IS PART OF THE ZAMBEZI RIVER

The Zambezi River is the fourth-largest in the African continent and spans across six different nations – its amazing journey spans an impressive 2,700 km. Along the way, you can see a range of wildlife animals. Mosi oa-Tunya is the boundary dividing the upper and middle parts of the Zambezi.

3) IT IS FOUND IN TWO NATIONAL PARKS

Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is home to part of Victoria Falls and is named so because “Mosi-Oa-Tunya” means “the smoke that thunders” – a perfect description of the sound the waterfall makes.

4) ITS ENGLISH NAME WAS CHOSEN BY DAVID LIVINGSTONE, A BRITISH EXPLORER

In 1855, British explorer and Christian Missionary, David Livingstone was the first European to visit the waterfall. He the named it after the British monarch at the time, Queen Victoria hence the name ‘Victoria Falls.’ While the original name of the waterfall is Mosi-Oa-Tunya, the Zambian and Zimbabwean governments are yet to rename the waterfall to its original traditional name.

5) YOU CAN SEE THE FALLS FROM TWO COUNTRIES

75% of the Falls can be seen from the Zimbabwean side, while the remaining 25% is visible from the Zambian side.

6) IT IS ONE OF THE WORLD’S SEVEN NATURAL WONDERS

The seven natural wonders of the world are Mosi oa-Tunya, Aurora Borealis, the Harbour of Rio de Janeiro, the Grand Canyon, the Great Barrier Reef, Mount Everest, and Parícutin.
