It
owes its design primarily to the water vessels carried by the
women on their heads, from which it descended over thousands
of years. It came to be an important part of tribal religious
ceremonies in Nigeria.
The
Udu combines the unique sound of 'aqua-resonance' with a warm
earthy vibration, producing a seamless fusion of deep and high
ambient tones.
Beautiful to hold and touch, calming and soothing to the eye the
Udu pot can take you to a meditative state, producing feelings of
peace and well being.
The pot can easily be adapted for Indian Tabla techniques, by use
of the palms, fingertips, fingernails, flicking and tapping.
Self-expression is easily achieved through exploring the endless
possibilities of sound and rhythm.
