- Description
- Close-up of a man, Enjomo, playing a geedal (bow harp) using both hands to pluck the strings. The instrument consists of a sound box, in one end of which is inserted a curved stick that projects outwards and upwards. On this stick are attached seven tuning pegs. A string is strung from each peg and attached to the sound box. IN 1990 Enjomo moved to Monasao (a Catholic mission founded in 1971 in a little savannah next to the forest approximately 50km North of Bayanga).
