Ben Aylon & Dana Roth || Xalam and Ngoni Bass

Ben Aylon & Dana Roth || Xalam and Ngoni Bass
Dana Roth is a massive bass player. We played a lot together some years ago, and now we live on different continents 🌎 So happy to have had the chance to hang together and create this spontaneous video. Dana grabbed the Bass Ngoni and got my composition in a sec with her wizardess talent and Zen groove. Just having fun creating. 🙏🏽❤️🤟🏾

This sounds great. Kinda reminds me of those instruments Altai use to accompany their throat singing.

[@josemaximo804]

Great music! I love this instrument. Could you tell me what is the thickness of the bass strings and if they are nylon strings? I'm planning to build one.Thanks!

[@BenAylon]

Nylon!

[@joshualotz340]

Nice vid, thanks for sharing! Question about the xalam/ngoni- what tuning are you using on the melody strings? And where did you get this model? Thanks!

[@reneef7406]

You guys sound great!

[@omrihason]

הי בן נשמע נהדר! שאלה... איך מכוון ה בס נגוני?

[@BenAylon]

היי עמרי תודה, קוורטות.

[@shiraakatsuki5079]

It seems there is some confusion between Ngoni and Kora: It's not the same instrument..

[@BenAylon]

It isn’t indeed. And Ngoni is a general name for string instruments from West Africa. Kora is a 21-strings harp.

[@bacicinvatteneaca]

A Kora is a specific type of harp. Other similarly shaped but different harps are called N'goni.

[@KenneyCmusic]

@@BenAylon what does the jeli in jeli ngoni mean?

[@BenAylon]

Djeli is a word that describes traditional musicians from Mali which carry the role of story tellers, historians and play in weddings, ceremonies etc. In Senegal they are called Gewel.
