Music of the Day: Burkina Faso (Lobi) – Rejoicing Music
Today’s music is a rejoicing music by solo singer, chorus and ensemble of Lobi people, Burkina Faso.
The lightly bouncing rhythms and the ensemble’s sense of color are wonderful, we think.
The uninterrupted improvisation by the balafon (xylophone with resonator) player is particularly impressive. The singer’s long vibrato is also interesting.
Music of the Day: Dogon – Bullroarer and Barking Dogs
Today’s music is “Bullroarer” sounds from Dogon people, Mali.
“Bullroarer” is made of a piece of wood attached a long thong. Swinging this around in the air, it sounds an eerie roar. It is often used by indigenous people in Africa and Australia, and is more of communication or ritualistic tool than musical instrument.

Well, this recording captures dogs barking furiously in response to “Bullroarer” sounds. This is somehow a smiley soundscape.
