Shekere Musical Instruments Rattle Music of Africa Percussion,
Rattle is a shaking idiom that is common in Africa. The variety of genres, materials, playing styles and timbres is enormous. The different types covered here are: gourd rattle, ball rattle, box rattle, basket rattle, tin rattle and knuckle rattle. Such instruments are so diverse that one might think that each tribe in the Congo had its own unique rattle, all made of plant material. The sound of a rattle can also vary greatly depending on the material used in the amp: small stones produce a hard, sharp sound, while softer particles produce a warmer sound.
Atenteben
$25.00
The atenteben[1] (atɛntɛbɛn) is a bamboo flute from Ghana.[2] [3] It is played vertically, like the European recorder, and, like the recorder, can be played diatonically as well as chromatically. Although originally used as a traditional instrument (most often in funeral processions), beginning in the 20th century it has also been used in contemporary and classical music. Several players have attained high levels of virtuosity and are able to play Western as well as African music on the instrument.
The instrument originated with the Akan ethnic group of south-central Ghana, particularly in the region of the Kwahu Plateau. It was first popularized throughout the nation by the Ghanaian musicologist Dr. Ephraim Amu (1899–1995).[4] It was also featured in the Pan-African Orchestra led by Nana Danso Abiam, and Dela Botri, a former member of the Orchestra, is among Ghana's foremost exponents of the instrument. Since 2004, Botri has combined the atenteben with hiplife music on his recordings.
The instrument is used in many schools and universities across Ghana, both as a solo and ensemble instrument. An instruction manual for the atenteben has been written by Dr. Kwasi Aduonum (born 1939), a Ghanaian educator, scholar, and composer from the Kwahu Plateau region.
