Notes
English: Bells made of forged iron are common throughout West Africa. This double bell is struck with a wooden clapper and produces a versatile penetrating sound. It is used to strike complex rhythms in an ensemble or rung to make announcements and convey messages.
Deutsch: Glocken aus geschmiedetem Eisen sind in ganz Westafrika verbreitet. Diese Doppelglocke wird mit einem hölzernen Klöppel angeschlagen und erzeugt einen vielseitigen durchdringenden Klang. Sie wird zum Schlagen von komplexen Rhythmen in einem Ensemble eingesetzt oder geläutet, um Ankündigungen zu machen und Botschaften zu übermitteln.
