The udu is an African instrument whose name – udu – means “vessel” in Igbo. It’s a water jug with an added hole! Usually it’s made of clay and played by hand (no mallets or sticks). Wait til you see this!
Listen Up! “U” is for Udu
Real True Fiction
Fascinating! I’ve never heard of an udu nor heard it played.

Me neither, Denise. I figured my only option was a ukulele, but when I listened to this, I had to go with it.

Wow! I wouldn’t have believed such sound could come from a water jug – it was haunting.
