| Sampho:The drum-maker creates a barrel-shaped drum by hollowing out a single block of wood, stretching calfskin heads on each end, and tightening the heads with gut or sometimes strips of rattan. He makes one head larger than the other and applies to each head a circular-shaped tuning paste made of rice and ashes.Master musician, Sum Tath |
