content: Edited film: the sanza is an instrument that is plucked with metal or wooden prongs mounted on a board and is usually played sheerly for the musician's personal pleasure. Here a Dan singer accompanies himself with a sanza while he sings proverbs, salutations, and expressions of thanks to his audience.
