[nygrande]

Amazing little artists!

Who does say that berimbau does not come from Africa?

Axe from Capoeira Angola!

@nygrande >>Who does say that berimbau does not come from Africa? >Nobody! Capoeiristas are small anthropologists and know, that human came from Africa, so did it also bow and arrows, sometimes used together as musical bow, frequently with resonator box like gourd or human mouth. Although called differently in many places by different tribes: mbi+rimbau by Ambundu, mburumbumba by Ovimbundu (both in Angola), hungu by Ambundu (origin for gunga), instrument has elder origin (comes from Bushmen).

@nygrande >If you want to find places where this instrument is used, you will be astonished at a fact, that it is used everywhere, all over the world. In Burundi exist ibubura (indono, idono) with string called umurya, bow called umuheto, rattle called inzebe. "Axé" word came from "Àse", Yorùbá (Nigerian) word meaning "life force". Axé for U too Angoleiro :-)

@neuroanimal

[4waysofseeing]

AMAZING PLAY!!

This is just beautiful.

Axé

[fininhomandinga]

The best i could find is that it's probably a variation of the African instrument called the Uhadi. Though the Uhadi that i found only has one gourd, it still produces a full sound using the harmonics created by the overtones of the note. It is also not played with a stone or coin, just the index finger. I want one! I wouldn't be surprised if the Uhadi was the predecessor to the berimbau as it was a common instrument on the west coast and the Congo regions, where slaves were taken.

Axe!
