Orutu - Ohangla Drum Brand

Made in USA by iSoriTe.

This is an Urutu made out of an Ohangla Drum.

The orutu is a one-stringed vertical fiddle originated in the pre-colonial societies of Western Kenya, especially amongst the Luo community.^[1] The Luo had a strong tradition of stringed instruments and was famous for their skills with harps and lyres.^[1] When played with a bow, the orutu creates different notes determined by finger pressure against the central stick.^[2]

Although this musical instrument is played a bit like a violin, it has a different, unique sound to it. It is accompanied by drums and singing.
