Ethnomusicological sound recording made by Cootje van Oven. Limba Bundu Society song, accompanied by two nasung and handclapping. This is a song to greet all relatives. The small nasung appears to be similar to the Bundu drums of other tribes. They are wooden cylindrical drums with two skins, one of which is beaten. In this item, the beating of each drum is done with a stick and with the hand. The first drum is 18" long and has a skin diameter of 8", the other one is 19" long and has a diameter of 7". Bundu drums are pictured in the photographs (not these particular ones).
