Adungu

[3] The instrument is made of a hollowed-out slab of wood, which is covered by two pieces of leather, woven together in the center.

A curved wooden neck, containing a tuning peg for each note, is inserted into the end of the instrument's body.

The strings run diagonally from the tuning pegs in the neck to the rib in the center of the body.

In performance, complex arpeggiation gives simple tonal chord progressions an energetic, sometimes syncopated rhythmic drive.

Modern performers adept with the adungu include the native Ugandan musician James Makubuya[4][5] and the American artist Crystal Bright.
