Item Details

Description

Sprechtrommel, "dundun"
Yoruba, Nigeria
Ohne Sockel / without base
Holz, Leder. H 58 (26,5) cm.

Provenienz:
Helmut und Marianne Zimmer, Zürich.

Trommeln werden quer durch Afrika in vielfältiger Form als Rhythmus-, Effekt- oder Signalinstrumente verwendet.

Zweifellige Sprechtrommeln (talking drums) werden je nach Herkunft auch Gangan, Atumpan, Donno, Kalungu, Doodo, Tama, Tamma, Dondo, Odondo, Lunna oder Lunar genannt.

Der Trommler presst die Spannschnüre unter der Armbeuge unterschiedlich stark, bevor- oder während er den Membran schlägt. So erzeugt er mit der Hand, oder wie hier mit dem gekrümmten Schlägel, unterscheidbare Halbtonintervalle, um die Tonstufen der Yoruba-Sprache nachzubilden.

Der Brauch mit diesem sanduhrförmigen Instrument Nachrichten über grössere Distanzen zu vermitteln, hat sich bis heute in unserem Sprachgebrauch gehalten, denn im übertragenen Sinne sagt man von Gerüchten, sie seien durch die Buschtrommel verbreitet worden.
