Description / content note
-
In this recording the rhythm of the four small goblet drums set against the single bass drum can be clearly distinguished. 1 x - 14.52104 -; 4 x - 14.25103 -; 4 x - 14.02101 -. This set of 9 drums was very carefully tuned before playing particularly the four small goblet drums which were played by one man and were tuned approximately to 840, 672, 568, 464 vs. Between items the drums would be taken to a fire, wetted and returned by heat, but naturally the tuning can only be approximately correct. If the above tuning was correct the intervals would be approximately 386, 291, 350 cents or about a 7th in all. The drums were made from wood of the Mukongo tree. Madogoli dance song for men and women, with 5 Goblet pegged and footed drums, 4 cylindrical pegged drums and tin rattles (-12.54-).
