dinlemesi çok guzel
That's so cool. He's playing 2 voices, one coming from the string and the other from his mouth right?
I could be wrong, but I don't think so. His mouth is acting as a resonator for the bow, but that's about it. He's also using a piece of a plant or maybe wood to slide along the string to change the pitch.
@@bluesmusicandwhatnot2845 hes actually using two piece of wood. one for each note and one for pitch. i think? also not sure. all i know is the baka is mindblowing with their styles
@@isaiya3927 the stick by his face is for sounding the instrument, the stick far away is bending the string to change the string's pitch. The berimbau used in Brazilian _capoeira_ is similar, except the berimbau's resonator is a large gourd, also played to marvelous effect
With this African musical bow, his mouth is indeed the resonator. You can change the shape of your mouth to resonate different overtones. Incredibly, while the string plays a note, you 'mouth' a 2nd higher note, which is the resonant overtone in your mouth. There are only a select few notes available, since the lowest (and thus most audible) have larger intervals between them than the higher overtones. It's the harmonic series!
Throat-singing is the same idea. They sing with a gravelly, distorted tone, which is extra rich in harmonics and overtones, and then alter the shape of their whole oral cavity/pharynx to resonate certain overtones, making a higher 2nd note appear out of the sung note.
The sound reminds me of a berimbau
Same family. Musical bows come from Africa.
They have different names according to the country
