content: Edited film: the Dangaleat flute orchestra in Chad is made up of five differently-pitched flutes. Each flute is made of a bamboo cylinder with three holes burnt into it and a notch at the upper end. The musician with the largest flute also shakes a rattle with his right hand. The musicians first perform individually and then as an ensemble.
