1 The list of traditional griot instruments includes the kora (a twenty-one-stringed bridge harp), ngoni (a lute-like string instrument), tamani or tama (a variable-pitch drum) and the balafon (a wooden-keyed percussion idiophone, similar to a xylophone). The electric guitar is a recent, and increasingly popular, addition.
