"A group of men from the Ankole region seated on the ground in an enclosure made from reeds? or grass? "using water pots as drums in dancing. Variations of sound are obtained by the amount of water in the pot which is beaten by a leather on its mouth" (Roscoe, 1922, p. 94). Five men stand next to the group.
