@OctoBox The blues came out of the same tradition. Watch a really good blues guitarist with a really good ngoni player. Watch their fingers. Bassekou Kouyate and Ali Farka Toure are good examples to watch when they do a call and response.

@17aKaT Moors are a North African, largely Muslim people, today living largely in Morrocco and Mauritania. At one time, they held a large part of Spain and France. To some extent, they shaped Spanish music. Just for kicks, you might Google "Maalouma mint Meida."

@MelvinWren The instrument is called the "kora," and it does have that wide a range. Twenty strings, on alternating sides of a very high bridge.
It has a bit of flexibility. I have not heard it introduced into any genre of music, from classical to rock, where it did not fit. I think it will last a few centuries more.
