Bamana-speaking peoples live in central Mali: the language is the most common in Mali. Music is simple and unadorned, and pentatonic. Traditional Bamana music is based on "fileh" (half calabash hand drum), "gita" (calabash bowl with seeds or cowrie shells attached to sound when rotated),the "karignyen" (metal scraper), the "bonkolo" drum (played with one open hand and a thin bamboo stick), the "kunanfa" (large bowl drum with cowhide head, played with the open hands, also "barra" or "chun"), the "gangan" (small, mallet-struck "dunun", essentially the same as the "konkoni" or "kenkeni" played in the djembe ensemble).
