- Summary:
- Description: Scope/Content: Isundunrin-Ijala 2 Songs + Gangan + Ekutu + TiokoDescription: Ekutu is a side-blown instrument of antelope or duiker horn. It is open on both ends with a mouth hole cut on the side near the narrow end. Pitch changes and effects may be made by adjusting or stopping the hand over the wide or narrow end. It has a range of about a sixth. Ekutu is a "talking instrument," used for communication during bush hunting, and for punctuating ijala songs with relevant proverbs, sayings, and oriki (attributive poetry). It is also used in songs for the deity Ogun (Thieme 1969: 398-399). Tioko is a general Yoruba term for flute or piccolo. The one featured in this recording is a bamboo tioko, an open ended vertical [end-blown] flute with finger holes on the front and back of the cylinder.
