Empty gourds of differing sizes are strung together across a wooden frame and given little wooden hats which are then rhythmically drummed. Our fabric pattern represents the hypnotic tunes that have a central theme, but sound like mellifluous babbling brooks. These tunes take years of apprenticeship and dedication to understand and learn.
