It is widely played in many parts of Africa and has many different names. I came across it in Zimbabwe, and that is what it’s call there. It has a beautiful sound. If you search the name on youtube you will find lovely examples of masters playing the instrument. Amazing how such a small thing can create such a magical sound. There is a lovely lullaby called Usa Cheme that’s on a Putumayo African Lullaby CD. Simply hypnotic!
