Summary
[edit]| Description |
MALI
Malian instruments of the Maninka, Wasulu, and Tuareg peoples are now known globally thanks to their various styles of popular music. The kora harp-lute and ngoni lute are central instruments of Maninka jeliw ? musicians board into a professional lineage. The ngoni was traditionally played solo and in mixed-instruments ensembles, ngoni groups are a recent development. Increasingly well known are the Maninka sinbi hunters harp and Wasulu hunters' instruments. Both Maninka and Wasulu musicians are regarded as holders of deep Malian traditions. Today, Wasulu hunters and musicians are feared and respected for their command of nyama ?, a spiritual force encountered during the hunt and in performances of music. The doriso ? ngoni harp-lute is one of their most important instruments. Northern Mali cultures include the Songhai and Tuareg, whose lutes and one-stringed fiddles resemble Maninka and Wasulu instruments. I read about this place on Trip Adviser - it was the top rated attraction in Phoenix - and now we can see why! The museum is dedicated to musical instruments from around the world - the collection is fascinating, the exhibits are great and the hands-on displays were fun. We spent almost 5 hours here and still felt rushed - this place is definitely worth a detour. I know nothing about musical instruments so if you happen to know what a particular instrument is, please feel free to comment on it. I tried to include as many labels as possible. The museum is in Phoenix, AZ - we visited it in March 2014. We read about the Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) on Trip Advisor - it was the top rated attraction in Phoenix - and now we can see why!
