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.
String Hand Carved African kora Instrument
The kora is built from a large calabash, cut in half and covered with cow skin to make a resonator with a long hardwood neck. The skin is supported by two handles that run under it. It has 21 strings, each playing a different note. It supports a notched double free-standing bridge. It doesn't fit into any one category of musical instrument, but rather several, and must be classified as a "double-bridge-harp-lute". The strings run in two divided ranks, making it a double harp. They do not end in a soundboard but are held in notches on a bridge, making it a bridge harp. They originate from a string arm or neck and cross a bridge directly supported by a resonating chamber, making it a lute too.
