Sudden Sound: about the Kenyan Kpoko Kpoko


This is a double-ended wooden bell from Kenya. It's about 15x3x2 inches, carved from a single piece of wood with two small clappers in each bell tied in place with wire. It was purchased in the Animal Kingdom theme park at Walt Disney World.

Samples 01 to 04 are long looped shakes at no particular tempo, the rest are shorter unlooped hits.
