What is lesiba?

Lesiba is a musical instrument that originated in the Sotho people of southern Africa. It is a mouth-blown instrument made from a thin reed or bamboo, which is hollowed out to produce a narrow, cylindrical tube. The player then blows across a hole near the top of the instrument, producing a high-pitched, flute-like sound.

Lesiba is often used in traditional African music and is particularly popular in Lesotho and South Africa. It is sometimes played in ensembles with other traditional instruments such as drums, rattles, and xylophones. The instrument has also been adopted in contemporary music and has been used in various recordings and live performances.
