about

The main instrument here is an earth bow, or “lingbindi.” One of the simplest of all instruments, the earth bow consists of a single long string tied to a sapling, which is bent over. The other end of the string is attached to a square of thick bark, which is placed over a hole in the ground, turning the earth itself into a resonator. The plucked string has a lovely deep bass sound, and the riffs played on it usually have a jazz-like syncopation.
