Musical Igbo Pot Smithsonian Music

In addition to round pots for storing liquids, Igbo women make musical pots that are played at women's dances, wedding ceremonies and gymnastic events. This one produces sound in two ways: by hitting it with an open palm or by striking the vessel with a leather pad while covering the top and side openings to control the flow of air.
