The bottle is a common percussion instrument among the Lulua and the singing gourd is the favourite instrument of women's choirs in southern Congo into which they sing, lip or hum notes related to the fundamenta; note of the gourd. The somewhat strange sound of the singing gourd is the first heard at approximately 1m:30s from the start of this song.
