- Description: The buzzing or nasalizing effect of the small mirliton membranes inserted into the side of the drums is clearly heard throughout this recording. The women who play the singing gourds hold their mouths just inside the orifice of their gourds and voice their notes with taught lips, using alternate sides of their mouth, as if they were lipping a trumpet or bugle. The cavity of the gourd thus resonates the sound produced. In addition, they slap the outside of their gourd rhythmically as they hold it between the palms of their hands. Wedding and ceremonial with 4 goblet drums, closed, pinned, weighted, with mirlitons. Quiet hand clapping (-12.05-) and 4 singing gourds. (-11.13-).
