法国音乐家让·菲利普·雷基尔（Jean-Philippe Rykiel）与我们联系，讨论了一种独特的非洲式巴拉芬，其中每个键在演奏时都会振动，因此发出有趣的嗡嗡声。有时也称为“吉尔”（JEE-le），通常在加纳北部，布基纳法索和马里东南部的部分地区发现。硬木钥匙悬挂在葫芦上。丝或纸覆盖葫芦中的小孔，引起共鸣，产生独特的嗡嗡声。

Rykiel与出色的Salif Keita和Youssou N’Dour合作，一直与西非音乐家合作。对于巴拉芬，他知道一位来自布基纳法索的名叫Mamadou Diabate的演奏家现在住在奥地利。他邀请Mamadou演奏乐器进行自己录制的录音。录音随后便进入我们的行列，结果就是您在这里找到的乐器。我们希望您会发现该乐器既有趣又鼓舞人心！
French musician Jean-Philippe Rykiel contacted us about a unique type of African balafon in which each key had “snares” that vibrated when played, giving it a interesting buzzing quality. Sometimes called a “gyil”(JEE-le), it’s usually found in parts of northern Ghana, Burkina Faso, and south-eastern Mali. Hardwood keys are suspended over calabash gourds. Silk or paper covers small holes in the gourds which resonates to produce the characteristic buzzing.

Rykiel has long been involved with West African musicians, having collaborated with both the wonderful Salif Keita and Youssou N’Dour. For the balafon however, he knew of a virtuoso player from Burkina Faso named Mamadou Diabate now living in Austria. He enlisted Mamadou to play the instrument for a recording session that he would conduct himself. The recordings then made their way to us, and the result is the instrument you find here. We hope you’ll find this instrument both curious and inspirational!
