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.

Dear Afrikan child...

Sometimes we don't have to look at solutions to the Western Society.
All we should is just look back and read our genius past. Apply the knowledge then architect our systems to the new modern age.

The pyramids of Kush, majestic and imposing as they were in 700 BC, stood proudly as a testament to a vibrant civilization. Now, as we step into 2024, these ancient wonders rest quietly in the desert, their silent grandeur telling stories of the rich history they have witnessed over the centuries.

WHAT a WOW...

💔Bellingham family

When Jude Bellingham signed for Borussia Dortmund, his parents decided to “split” to support their two sons.

Mark the dad stayed with Jobe current Sunderland footballer and Denisse the mum left with Jude.

Denisse not only handles Jude's image, but lives with him, keeps an eye on his discipline and accompanies him to every game.

The "Queen" nicknamed affectionately by her family, is not just there for being a mother, but she is known for being a hardworking woman who has devoted most of her life to the field of human resources in various companies.

So everything she does with his son makes SENSE.

"I can say without a doubt that my MOTHER has been more important in my career than any coaches I've had," Jude said.

Wow! This is beautiful😍

Kana...

Omar: "I met Messi in a restaurant in Miami." I was wearing a Real Madrid shirt I told myself I couldn't let this moment go. I wanted to take a photo with him but I was afraid he will refuse because of my Real Madrid shirt. I walked up to him looking shyly. He then said to me :

"What's wrong with you?" Do you want a photo ? I said yes to her He said 'It's all right. Why are you shy ? 'I replied: 'Because I wear a Real Madrid shirt.' 'He said: 'I also have Real Madrid shirts.' I was trading with players '" ❤️
