Instrument also known as: Lunga, lounga, dundun, kanango, donno, kalunga, doodo, bendre, adodo, hutamba, gomboy

A double-headed hourglass drum. The skins are attached by numerous cords so the player can subtly change the tension and therefore the pitch by squeezing the instrument under his armpit. The sound is effectively copying tonal African languages which is why it's called the "talking drum". The drum is struck by a curved, wooden beater, but can also by played by hand as by the Tams and Wolof people.

The hourglass shaped "talking drum" of the Wolof of Senegal. The Tama is very small and played up under the armpit.
