Is that the only instrument Black people were able to make on their own? Is that all they are able to do when left to their own device? A drum made from animal skin?
So for 1 millenium, they never experimented with melody and harmony? Like, come on, seriously?

Google informs me they had one of these too
you're an idiot
Yeah wtf Africans?
They did have melody and harmony though. Just with percussive sounds instead of pitched ones.
This is off topic but just a friendly reminder that the only new acoustic instrument to be invented in the 20th century was made by poor black guys
This is a (bad) Western replica. Real balafon looks like pic related
Whoa this is cool
What is that?
Post a song made with this. I'm sure you won't because it will be lullaby-tier melody.
Op is an idiot
Can’t wait for you to tell me why this isnt African enough. Happy Easter :)
World’s tiniest African violin playing a sad sad song for op
Banjo - for instance - was invented in Africa you fuckin cracker cunt.
This is not entirely true but may be. the banjo we know today is an evolution of an instrument that slaves would build for themselves on the plantation, implying that they must have had something similar in africa.
Pic unrelated but i think it’s a Rwandan instrument called the pluriac
You know, every fucking time I see these threads you can tell op is ignorant because he has to keep adding asterisks to his original statement so he can continue to be proven wrong
Another pic of the pluriac
Wtf is this on the top right?
I’m learning so much in this thread op thank you
How do you play this?
I smack da washboad
I know op thinks these dont count but thats retarded
Ok I’m done for now
Love you op!
roll
P.S. OP is probably a white CIS male kek
The African equivalent of the banjo, the kologo, only got two strings
I guess it's difficult to make music for someone with a 2 digit IQ if there are more than 2 strings
It's funny how all those people post images but can't show me ANY recording
hummm, I wonder why...
izdrāzt!
>difficult to make music w more than 2 strings
I.. i guess? I mean EVERY one of these has more than two strings...
Also, post source for your claims. My understanding is that we dont know what the African banjo was like, only American ones built by literal slaves with slave resources
You’re so stupid but here’s an African dude playing kora (he sings too)
youtube.com
Go on google and search :
kologo
xalam
akonting
Those are the closest thing to the banjo
That's modern. I can hear modern influences in it. He even play Jazz chords
Show me PURE african music.
Anybody know what he’s playing in this pic?
neck yourself
Show me pure American music first
No.
roll
It's a mouth bow, the most pathetic instrument I have ever seen
llor
How does it work?
plucking
Ok i dont know if you expected this but that didnt explain how it works for me... elaborate now (my bitch)
You pluck the string
With your tongue?
(Post again now, bitchboy)
No
Wow op got completely btfo in this thread
World's oldest instrument is a vulture bone flute from Germany. Non-African's had poly-phonic music since who knows when.
>rope
>traditional
All stringed instruments in Africa are of Arab origin. North Africa was ethnically middle-eastern since pre-history.
The banjo was an instrument based on spanish stringed instruments that slaves observed during the slave trade. Not one source for "banjos" being native to sub-Saharan africa.
Holy shit... Imagine how insecure this user must be if he feels the need to act this condescending to people on an actual Romanian ship model building forum
you're an idiot. and need to read some books
Anyone gonna address this?
lrol
We are all Africans!
Well, we did all evolve from there, but it’s kind of stupid and infantile to claim allegiance to something that happened even 2 generations ago, even if you did technically grow out of their cum or whatever

Source...
Reminder that Irish people are also black and invented the bagpipes and the tin whistle
I didn't evolve but I think Eve, our mother that is, landed in Africa. Or Yemen maybe.
>Irish people are also black
tyrone and craig agree
Can't believe Arabs invented the bow and then gave it to Africans in 10,000 BCE and told them you could turn it upside down and run a stick on it
They made marimbas too...
