All  musical instruments  are  authentic pieces   imported   directly   from  west Africa
(Guinea, Mali, Senegal, Sierra Leone.). The  craftsmen  who  create  them  are descended   from   families  who   have produced the same artefacts from generations. They  have  mastered  the techniques of selecting  materials  and  building   instruments  through  the  years. Hear   for   yourself  the   unique sound that first  echoed through   Africa and now the world

The Horde (in Peul language), is composed of half an empty calabash.
It is played by striking it with metal rings on hand fingers. Metalic resonators (sandyere) are sometimes attached to the calabash to amplify the soud and give it a rattle effect.
