The tribes of the Little Andaman are the Onges, the Jarawas from the interior of the South Andaman, (the outer group as they are referred to sometimes) and the Sentinalese of the North Sentinel island, not to be confused with the Great Andamanese tribes.
Most of these names of the tribes/ languages are words from common day-to day life of the people, like for instance, Jero means 'canoe', Bea means 'fresh water', Bojigyab means 'speech-language', Juwai is 'pattern on arrows', while Kol means'bitter/ salty' and all these words signify roughly the same sense in all these ten dialects/ languages.
Aka- means 'tribe/ language' while -da is a suffix which is added to a noun when in isolation.

 HOW I BUILT A "NORTHERN MICHIGAN KORA"
The Kora could be thought of as a sort of "stringed Kalimba" -- in that the notes of the scale alternate back and forth from right side to left side of the two planes of strings - 10 on the right and 11 on the left.
Absolute straightness is unimportant, there being no frets etc. HEAD: African Koras have an animal skin tightly stretched across the open end of the gourd -- I used standard 16" diameter fibreskin type (fake animal skin), drum head & carefully cut the "gourd" so that the drum head fits nicely over the rim.
One other important point: Although the Fiberskin (aka mylar) is very tough (witness the constant torture it receives from hardwood drumsticks!), it's not a good idea to secure the handles ONLY by means of their going through the holes in the head (as is the usual method in African instruments).

5, fretting of Chautariya Bom Shahs {1796} kora
Andrew, We saw hundreds of kora and kukri in Nepal but I think only 2 kora had that type of fretwork.
Derek, Kora no.5 is probably for beheading, maybe at Dasien it is rather a heavy beast, most of the kora in the museam are definate light weight fighters though.

 Super Rail Band Of The Buffet Hotel De La Gare De Bamako | Super Rail Band (aka New Dimensions In Rail Culture)
The Super Rail Band was a vital stepping-stone for Keita and Kante, and also for Kante Manfila, originally an acoustic guitarist, who later became a key figure in the development of local electric music.
Sekou Kante and Lanfia Diabate may not be as widely celebrated as their predecessors Keita and Kante, but they are A-list effervescent vocalists, fronting an easy-rocking, locked-down band.
The horn players (sadly the sleeve has not acquired full personnel details over the years) are straight out of Accra, barely mutated, and Dytounkara's cascading guitar lines vividly evoke traditional kora and n'goni music while adding new electric textures and impact.
