| Reference: Refs. Reference information: I am not sure that it is a "jututo" as Jane describes, given the fact that you yourself referenced a wind instrument. Certainly in my own country, the instrument an integral part of the Maroon culture, it is known as a "boom pipe" (other names, "vaccine", "vaksin"). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccine_(instrument) Vaccine[1][2] (or sometimes vaksin [3][4][5]) are rudimentary single-note trumpets found in Haiti and, to a lesser extent, the Dominican Republic[6] as well as Jamaica.[5] They consist of a simple tube, usually bamboo, with a mouthpiece at one end. They are thus also referred to as banbou[7] or bambú,[6] as well as bois bourrique[1] (or bwa bourik[8]), granboe,[9] ****fututo,[6]**** or boom pipe.[5] They are not to be confused with other Haitian handmade trumpets called konè or klewon, made of a yard-long white metal tube with a flared horn, called kata.[3][4][5] https://es.qaz.wiki/wiki/Vaccine_(instrument) Vaccine (oa veces vaksin ) son trompetas rudimentarias de una sola nota que se encuentran en Haití y, en menor medida, en la República Dominicana y Jamaica. Consisten en un tubo simple, generalmente de bambú, con una boquilla en un extremo. Por lo tanto, también se les conoce como banbou o bambú , así como bois bourrique (o bwa bourik ), granboe, ***fututo**** o boom pipe. No deben confundirse con otras trompetas haitianas hechas a mano llamadas konè o klewon, hechas de un tubo de metal blanco de un metro de largo con un cuerno ensanchado, llamado kata. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2021-01-22 19:42:27 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In the Dominican Republic: Performing Blackness in a Mulatto Society: Negotiating Racial ...academicworks.cuny.edu › cgi › viewcontentPDF Oct 15, 2014 — that pentatonic or hexatonic vocal melodies prevail, as well as vaksin ... 349 ****Single-note bamboo trumpets, called fututo****, in the Dominican ... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2021-01-22 19:44:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://www.oxfordmusiconline.com/grovemusic/view/10.1093/gm... Extract [vaccine, banbou, boom pipe, bamboo bass] One-note trumpet of Haiti and Jamaica. It is a bamboo tube more than 1 m long and 5 to 7 cm in diameter, open at one end with a mouth-hole cut into a node at the other, and wrapped with recycled bicycle inner-tube rubber. The player blows in energetic puffs, producing a low-pitched note; players also tap the bamboo with sticks in order to add an additional layer of percussion. Normally in a rara band several vaksin of different pitches sound in alternation to produce an ostinato hocketing pattern. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2021-01-22 20:39:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Further to Phil's discussion comment: https://somamexico.org/archivo/objeto?id=937&nombre=De futut... The fututo is an artifact for the Maroon experience that has been used by both original[1]and enslaved African communities, followed by those of us who survived them. Its sounds traveled throughout the region due to the circularity of the Caribbean at that time. Today few know how to touch the fututo, but from it and its records, we are building other artifacts for resistance and alliance, which are imminent, to create other possible fictions. |
