About

What to expect

SK Kakraba is a virtuoso on the gyil: fourteen wooden slats hang above calabashes, and small openings in the fruit are covered with spider-web silk, which gives a humming sound.

Kakraba grew up in a musical family and now lives in Los Angeles, where he recorded several albums, and Sam Gendel played on his last record Mman Gyana.

  • Gyil: fourteen wooden slats, calabashes
