Carving the Igbo Oja Instrument

This video is part of the Music In Africa Foundation’s Instrument Building and Repair (IBR) project. The overarching objective of the project is to encourage the formalisation and professionalisation of instrument making and repair in Africa, especially in relation to indigenous African instruments. This project has enabled the Foundation to train young people to make instruments, while providing online tutorials to a wider audience across the continent. The programme also includes performances and public dialogues around African instruments.
