Question

what west african instrument is being played in this video?
a. ngoni
b. kora
c. rattle
d. balafon

Explanation:

The balafon is a West African percussion instrument (a type of xylophone) with wooden bars. The image shows a hand playing an instrument with bars, consistent with the balafon. The ngoni is a stringed lute - like instrument, the kora is a harp - like stringed instrument, and a rattle has a different structure, so they don't match the visual.

Answer:

D. balafon
