songs: language; bamboo pipes - ghosen; gongs |
| text: |
The Kukis have songs in an old dialect of their language now obsolete, which, from the specimen given by Major Steward, are not without a trace of poetic imagery. They have an instrument called the " ghosen," consisting of bamboo pipes with stops inserted into a gourd, which produces different tones at the will of the performer when the gourd is blown into by a mouth-piece. They use chimes of gongs when they want more noise. |
