Creating Vintage Art Wooden Carved Musical instruments requires the use of natural materials and traditional techniques. Throughout the continent of Africa, a diverse array of musical instruments are utilized, such as drums, xylophones, shakers, mbiras, and rattles. The one-string musical bow, which is no longer commonly used, played an integral role in creating the vocal scales that are now a staple of African music. The regional music styles and instruments played across Africa have been influenced by the migration patterns and historical events of the people who have lived there. Islamic and Arabic musical traditions have had a significant impact on the musical styles and instruments played in northern and western African countries.
