SHANTU OF KANO EMIRATE IN NORTHERN NIGERIA

In the tapestry of tradition, where melodies dance on the breeze, emerges the Shantu. Join us on a journey of empowerment and rhythm, in 'Resonating Rhythms: Unveiling the Shantu's Empowerment. The Shantu, a tubular Calabash instrument, resonates with distinctive sounds. Hausa women strike it against their thighs, creating resounding thumps, and tap its surface with their fingers to craft light, striking notes. The Shantu, classified as a wind instrument, harnesses the manipulation of wind. Air flows through the tubular gourd, meeting the rhythmic thumps of a woman's thigh and her tapping thumb. Named after itself, the Shantu infuses the melodies of singers. Seated on the floor, one leg extended and the other curved, players tap the long hollow gourd, its rhythms guiding their voices.
