Malunga

Malunga

Malunga is a stringed musical instrument used by the Siddi people of India, who are the descendants of immigrants from East Africa. The instrument produces two tones and an eighth part, coming from the articulation of the hand, which by leaning on the instrument can also press it sequentially, in order to vary the tone. He is struck with a stick and, like the berimbau of Brazil, the hand holding the stick carries a rattle. Malunga has a resonant gourd that amplifies the instrument's sound. In general, its appearance is identical to that of the berimbau, and the differences lie in the materials used for the construction of the two instruments and the touch techniques used. Malunga é um instrumento musical de corda utilizado pelo povo Siddi da Índia, que são os descendentes de imigrantes originários do leste da África. O instrumento produz dois tons e uma oitava parte, proveniente da articulação da mão, que apoiando-se no instrumento pode também pressioná-lo sequencialmente, com o objetivo de variar o tom. É golpeado com um pedaço de pau e, como o berimbau do Brasil, a mão segurando a vara carrega também um guizo. O Malunga tem uma cabaça ressonante que amplifica o som do instrumento. Em geral, sua aparência é idêntica à do berimbau, sendo que as diferenças residem nos materiais utilizados para a construção dos dois instrumentos e nas técnicas de toque utilizadas.
