A traditional percussion instrument from Mali in the form a serrated metal tube with an open slit and metal finger ring. It is scraped or struck with a thin metal rod.

Originally it was played by two groups of people - hunters (donso) and Griot women. For hunting ceremonies, it was played in a scraping fashion, accompanying the donso ngoni, both instruments playing the same rhythm. The Griot women played it like a bell and sang while performing ceremonies. Today, it is still played by the donso and Griot women, but is also widely used in West African popular music. It accompanies the kamale n'goni with expanded rhythms creating a more complex sound.
