Track 13 from Saydisc "Percussion Around the World" - notes from Maureen Hanke.
War Drums, an African piece of music, features Sudan war drums. The drums have a copper base and are also referred to as the nihass, derived from the Arabic word for copper. The drums in this recording are owned by Sheikh Mohammed El Amin Tiriq Nazir (head) of the Hadandwa tribe and are being played to summon support about a tribal dispute concerning the water wells at Woga.
