👉 Lazarets are a type of musical instrument that is commonly used in traditional folk and tribal music. They consist of strings, often consisting of a single bow or plucked string, which are played using a stick or a wooden rod called a "fingernail" (also known as a "saxophone"). The sound produced by the violin-like motion of these instruments is characteristic of their native culture and is considered to be one of the most unique and expressive sounds in African music.
