- Description: Mongika is the present Chief of the Mangbele. He and his two wives wore headdresses made of the scarlet tail feathers of the Congo parrot, a mark of distinction in this area. In this region on the northern edge of the great tropical forest large trees enable the people to make slit drums of many different shapes and sizes. Membranes for the ordinary kind of African drums are rare as antelopes are not easily found in the forest. The slit drums are therefore the more popular instruments for accompanying dances. Topical song with two wooden pod shaped slit drums, two cylindrical wooden slit drums, two basket rattles, two metal bells.
