Amagxolo: incazelo yethuluzi, ukwakheka, imvelaphi, ukusetshenziswa

Amagxolo ayisibonelo se-gravicord, ngaphandle efana nehabhu, futhi ngomsindo ufana nesiginci. Yasungulwa eNtshonalanga Afrika futhi yasetshenziswa ababalisi nabaculi base-Afrika.

Idivayisi

I-kora iyinsimbi ekhahlelwayo enezintambo. Leli igula elikhulu lase-Afrika elinqunywa phakathi futhi limbozwe ngesikhumba. Ingxenye efana nesigubhu isebenza njenge-resonator. Ngokuvamile, abaculi babeshaya isigqi ngemuva kwegula. Intamo ende ixhunywe kwi-resonator.

Izintambo - kukhona ezingamashumi amabili nanye zazo - zitholakala endaweni ekhethekile (nati) futhi zixhunywe emigodini ye-fingerboard. Le ntaba ifana nesiginci nelute. Ezifanekisweni zesimanje, izintambo ezengeziwe zivame ukunamathiselwa kumisindo ye-bass.

Ukusebenzisa

Insimbi yomculo yayivela endulo. Ngokwesiko, yadlalwa ngabamele abantu base-Afrika iMandinka. Nokho, kamuva yasakazeka kulo lonke elase-Afrika.

Igxolo leli lalisetshenziswa ababalisi kanye labahlabeleli. Umculo opholile nonesigqi wawuhambisana nezinganekwane nezingoma zabo. Ithuluzi lisadumile nanamuhla. Abayidlalayo babizwa ngokuthi “jali”. Kukholakala ukuthi i-jali yangempela kufanele izenzele ithuluzi.
