Summary
| Description |
English: Musicians from Northern Nigeria. The large lutes are probably babbar garaya, also called komo. The fiddle is a goje. Babbar garaya are described as semi-spike lutes (end of handle visible through hole in skin soundboard) with 2 strings. Babbar garaya means "big garaya". While these instruments in the picture are strung with 3 strings, two of them are strung in courses (played together as one string), which matches the source.[1] |
