Meanings Of Musical Instruments In Your Language by Fulaman198(m): 12:56am On Dec 29, 2013 |
I will start it off about how to say musical instruments in Fulani language (Fulfulde): 1. Traditional Guitar - Hoddu 2. Drum (talking drum included) - Mbaggu 3. One string Violin - Nianooru or Nyanyeeru 4. Calabash - Tuumbude 5. Bells worn on legs during Gerewol for Mbororo (some of you non-Mbororo Fulani probably don't know what this is): Akayoore 6. Calabash that floats on water - Azakalabo 7. Flute (3 ways to say it for Mbororo Fulani) - Ndandalu, Serredu, Odiiru 8. Luth that Hausa call Kontigi or Gurmi - Hoddu Traditional Music - Gimi finatawa or Seygalare or Mbawdi Example of traditional Fulani Mbororo Festivities: Gerewol (Worso and Yaake dance); https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jCmEJ64bOU Please feel free to share words guys. If you have to ask what an instrument is called feel free to ask. 2 Likes |

You mean the Fulani have only eight musical instruments? JustAsking |
Re: Meanings Of Musical Instruments In Your Language by Fulaman198(m): 6:08pm On Dec 29, 2013 |
Infomizer: You mean the Fulani have only eight musical instruments? Those are the main ones used in traditional Fulbe music, though there are different variations for the same instrument. Most Fulani musicians like Baaba Maal, members of Etran Finatawa, Inna Baba Coulibaly, Hawa Pullo, and so many others rely on natural voice. 8 instruments are more than enough, why should you need anymore lol? 1 Like |

From the land of Owanbe! Agbe: a shaker Ashiko: a cone-shaped drum Batá drum: a well decorated traditional drum of many tones, with strong links to the deity Sango olukoso, it produces sharp high tone sounds. Goje: sort of violin like the sahelian kora Sekere: a melodic shaker; beads or cowrie shells beautifully wound around a gourd, shaken, beaten by fists occasionally and thrown in the air to create a festive mood and incite women to shake their waist. gudugudu: a smaller, melodic bata Sakara drum: goatskin istretched over clay ring Agogô: a high-pitched tone instrument like a "covered" 3-dimensional "tuning fork" Saworo: like agogo, but its tone is low-pitched aro: much like a saworo, low-pitched Seli: a combination of aro, saworo and hand-clapping Agidigbo, a thumb piano instrument wound round the neck and stabilized by the player's chest. Dundun, consisting of iya ilu or gbedu, main or "mother" drum and omele, smaller drums, played as an accompaniment to bata drums to create a base for their sharp beats. Bembé, bass drum, kettle drum. (see also List of Caribbean membranophones) And the self acclaimed, world renowned Gangan-- talking drum!! Its both traditional and spiritual!! Anytime, we have a family gathering or event and the older women start chanting our oriki!! I empty my pockets straight!! Spray atm sef!! I told my gurl to go learn it if she is really serious!! As an african man,I love traditional praise singing!! Emi olori garri!! Yoruba lo ni asha jare!! 18 Likes |

Another Fulani Instrument : Kotso Drum : Hourglass shaped drum associated with Fulani emirs, durbars, etc. |
Re: Meanings Of Musical Instruments In Your Language by Fulaman198(m): 7:53pm On Dec 30, 2013 |
PAGAN 9JA: But Kotso is not a Fulfulde word and not known amongst us Mbororo, Fulani music really relies on flute, luth, 1 string violin and occasionally drum. An example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViyAgp06gBI& |
Re: Meanings Of Musical Instruments In Your Language by PAGAN9JA(m): 7:55pm On Dec 30, 2013 |

Re: Meanings Of Musical Instruments In Your Language by Fulaman198(m): 7:58pm On Dec 30, 2013 |
