Would you like to try playing the world's largest xylophone?

Join a children's workshop with Nakibembe and you'll get to try the embaire, the Ugandan xylophone.

In Uganda they dig a large hole in the ground and place the "planks" they play on over the hole. Around it, 7-8 people can sit and play the instrument at the same time. The musicians inherited the instrument from their ancestors, and this is the only example that exists. No one knows who made it, how it was made, or what materials were used. 

Nakibembe will show you some cool rhythms and sounds you can make on the embaire. Come and join us!

Here you can watch a video from the village in Uganda, where they play the embaire:
