Bubu music

Bubu music is traditional music played by the Temne people in Sierra Leone. The music was originally used in witchcraft ceremonies, but later it turned into a popular religious processional style played during Ramadan. In its folk form, the music is played by blowing on bamboo cane flutes and on metal pipes -often repurposed auto parts. In 2010, Nabay released the first-ever international Bubu record, BUBU KING on True Panther Records in New York City. He subsequently formed the first-ever international Bubu band, Janka Nabay and the Bubu Gang, from local musicians in Brooklyn.
