Other String Instrumentsin Sub-Sahara Africa
Mouth bows and other musical bows, the earliest forms of string
instruments, may well have originated in Sub-Sahara Africa, the birthplace of
modern humanity, evolving from the first hunting bows. Evidence suggests
that the San (Bushmen) of southern Africa probably played tunes on their
hunting bows in pre-historic times, much like they do today.
In addition to the amazing variety of different kinds of musical bows found
throughout Sub-Sahara Africa, there's also an incredible variety of harps,
lyres and zither-type string instruments. However, lute family instruments
are, for the most part, to be found only in West Africa.
The notable exceptions to this rule are the various different kinds of spike
fiddles (bowed lutes) found in East and South West Africa as well as the
guitar-like ramkie of southern Africa, first documented in the 18th century,
and the gabbus of Zanzibar (the East African island nation of the coast of
Tanzania), which is the local version of an Arab short-neck lute known by
several names: gabbus (Oman), qabus (Saudi Arabia), qanbus (Yemen) and
so on. The Arab oud, the forbearer of the Western European classic lute,
was introduced into Zanzibar around 1870 with the arrival of takht (traditional
Arab music) ensembles from Egypt. Takht subsequently inspired the
creation of taarab, the Zanzibari/ East African "pop" music form, often
referred to as "Swahili wedding music." The oud, the lead instrument of both
takht and taarab music, is pretty much used in East Africa only in the context
of that taarab orchestras and "musical clubs" that are found up and down the
Swahili coast.
There are two branches of the lute family which are unique and indigenous
to West Africa, namely harp-lutes (now generally referred to as bridge-
harps), the best known example being the kora of the Mande griots, and
bow lutes (also, pluriarcs), which are basically instruments comprised of
several musical bows (up to eight) emanating from a single body. Generally
speaking, both harp-lutes and bow lutes are folk instruments associated
primarily with hunters' societies in rural villages. Two notable exceptions are
the griot kora, a large 21-string bridge-harp (also classed as a spike harp,
because the big stick that serves as the instrument's neck runs through the
body and out the tail end) with a huge gourd body topped with a cowhide
head, and the bolon, another type of Mande griot harp-lute with a large skin-
headed gourd body, distinguished by an arched neck bearing three to four
strings.
