Although many ethnic groups liive in the Central African Republic, they share similar kinds
of instruments such as the ngombi arched harp, lamellaphones, trumpets, and skinned
and slit drums.

Look for variations among the ngombi
harps from the central Bands and the
Nbaka and Yangere people of the south.

The dominant group in the central region,
the Banda, is paticularly known for their
multipart trumpet traditions, including
ongo horns, and their slit drums, often
in animal form. The largest group in the
west, the Gbaya, has a large variety of
lamellaphones.

The BaAka have fe instruments due
to their lifestyle in the forest. Though
they plays drums, lamellaphones, and
harps, the BaAka are renowned for
complete vocal compositions, sing in
many parts with yodeling techniques.
