Silimba

The silimba is a xylophone common among the Nkoya and Lozi people of Barotseland, western Zambia. The tuned keys are tied atop resonating gourds. Known as shinjimba among the Nkoya, it is used at the Kazanga, a traditional royal ceremony of the Nkoya. The silimba is an essential part of the folk music traditions of the Lozi people and can be heard at their annual Kuomboka ceremony. The shilimba is now used in most parts of Zambia.
