- Abstract
- There are exactly four types of Tsonga drum, and four types of bow, and the prevalence of their sounds in Tsongaland outweighs that of any other musical instrument. The former are played mostly by women, the latter mostly by men, and the social role of each instrument is in sharp contrast to that of the other
