Kuimba: Music
Watu Ya Zaire (from the CD "Mawingu-I Remember Africa")
(Kuimba)
Music, Lark Bowerman, Kris Bowerman
One of the little bow harps we play on this tune, called a kinubi (kee noo´ bee) in Zaïre, was made for us by a young man named Kijeke Lemba Lobo who lives in my home village of Itendey. The other we got through a trade with a Canadian couple that we met, for one of our tapes. The drum you hear was also made at Itendey from what appears to be a large coffee can covered with goat hide.
Personnel- Lark Bowerman, kinubi (African bow harp); Kris Bowerman, kinubi, Congolese tin can drum (from the Ituri rainforest)
