content: Edited film: a Bulala musician in Chad demonstrates the playing of the fiddle kukuma. He moves the bow with his right hand and strikes the single string with his left. His companion accompanies him on the rattle, while the fiddler sings songs in praise of the "Sultan" of Korbo and of the beautiful women in the country.
