Icisekese - animated accompaniment!

Greeting from Zambia!

Icisekese (ee-chee-say-guessay)
A web search for 'icisekese' results in the message '...did not match with any results.'  Yet I've seen and heard several since my arrival in Zambia. (And I've double checked the spelling!)

A percussion shaker instrument, the icisekese is featured in the video below, accompanying the singing of the choir of St Mathew's United Church of Zambia in Lusaka.  I nick-named it a 'clicking board.'  Its use is animated and dynamic.

Enjoy the music.  Enjoy the spirit!

The icisekese is both shaken and struck by the thumbs and balls of the hands.
