Agidigbo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Agidigbo is a traditional Yoruba musical instrument. Its appearance is piano-like; a rope is worn round the neck of the player who then supports or braces the agidigbo (a rectangular wooden box) by his chest or thoracic region. The player wears a thick "ring," usually a bottle neck, on his thumb, which he uses to tap the sides of the wooden box. He then uses his ten fingers to play very sonorous tones as he accompanies a sekere, or waka or an apala band. It's very popular in Ibadan and Ijebu areas of Yorubaland.
