Very nice video, i am actually from mauritius, island off the eastern coast of africa,just next to reunion island. Please, Mauritania is a big country in west Africa, but in yr video,at 2:57, you are talking about Mauritius,not Mauritania. Here in mauritius, this instrument is called a Maravann, and in Reunion island, they call it Kayamb. My partner happens to build this instrument using traditional method, we use sugar cane flower stem and cana flower seeds inside.
Thank you for the information! I pinned your comment. I will make a new video highlighting it as well. Feel free to comment here below or email me at williamjohnsonmusic@gmail.com If you’re partner is interested he can send me one of his instruments and I would be happy to feature it in a video
If you have one that's a little bit more narrow and install it at the top end of the Cajon so you can reach down and play play the ope tones and bass tones without hitting the snare part and get a nice separation between all the tones it might take some experimenting 2 get it right maby have a little tiny space between the snare part and cajhone part i made my own Cajon tubanos they sound great when micked up i am in Australia. Maby we can collaborate in some way or another bye bye for now take care of yourself and your family and friends oxo stay safe

@@WilliamJohnsonmusic hi William how are you doing today well i hope ox have a nice day brother what would You like 2 know about my tubanos i can't remember what i told you about them

You can also play it with your fingers, like when you do on the conga
Yes!
@@WilliamJohnsonmusic What are the dimensions of the Kaymaba you own?
@@nookzter Hello! I am not exactly sure. I believe it is approximately a little over two feet long by 6- inches wide
@@WilliamJohnsonmusic I made one, but it doen't produce the sound like I xpected, thats why my question
Cool!
Why don't you try and build a Cajon with it installed in it as a snare
That’s actually a really cool idea. I have seen Pete Lockett mention using it with a calabash for a snare.
