And there was a...one stringed fiddle, with no fretboard... the string was stopped at different harmonic intervals.
Aswell as alot of drums. .
PS: Couldn't find the "classical bass" anywhere on that list. It had nothing particularily "african" about it; it looked like any "spanish" classical guitar. Just bigger.
