Udu

The udu is a percussion instrument entirely made of clay with two openings, one on the top and another in the center, played with the hands or fingers depending on the different execution techniques. This idiophone, of Nigerian origin, comes from the Ibo language where it means "vessel," and in its origins, it was simply used to transport water. Although it is not a traditional instrument in Costa Rica, its creation has become popular among Costa Rican ceramic luthiers, and the example in these recordings has been adapted with Chorotega designs.
