EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Antonio Sasso for Giulio Ferrari's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World," published in Florence, Italy in 1843, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural traditions of the Natives of the Kingdom of Kongo (now known as the Democratic Republic of the Congo). The image showcases a lively scene of Kongo people engaging in music and dance, two essential elements of their social and spiritual life. In the center, a group of musicians play various instruments, including a gourd-resonated xylophone marimba, a drum ngamba, a double bell longa, and two percussion scrapers, kasuto and kilondo. The marimba, an instrument made of wooden bars attached to a gourd resonator, produces a melodic and resonant sound when struck with mallets. The ngamba drum, a large, double-headed drum, provides the rhythmic foundation for the music. The double bell longa, a brass instrument, adds a metallic and melodic tone, while the kasuto and kilondo, made of wood and animal skins, contribute to the percussive elements. The dancers, dressed in colorful attire adorned with beads, feathers, and animal skins, move in synchrony with the music, their bodies expressing the joy and energy of the moment. The hand-colored engraving, with its intricate details and vibrant hues, transports us back in time, offering a window into the rich cultural heritage of the Kongo people and their enduring connection to music and dance.
