Holy cow she’s even wearing the same dress design outfit. We call this instrument “cha”, loosely spelled. In the Romanization it’s spelled Ncas. The “h” in “cha” is silent and the “c” is not pronounced with the “k” sound. What do the MAPUCHE people call this instrument?
Hey there. I don’t know what the they call this instrument.
But it is amazing.
Nus Vaj – I think the Mapuche called them “pifilca”.
Nus Vaj – pifilca (pee-feel-ka) I had to use Google translate to figure it out. lol.
haha the funny thing is we use this instrument to court girls at night when their parents are all asleep. A young man would sneak outside at night and find where a girl room is at and play this instrument to her outside of her room. She will answer back by playing it too. They would communicate threw these instrument using sweet melody that can be translate to words to win a girl heart. I still don’t know how they understand and can translate the instrument.
Nus Vaj – I’m sorry I posted the wrong instrument. The one that you are talking about is called trompe (trom-pay), its like a Jews harp or something like that.
Robert Vang – I heard that because the Hmong language is a tonal language that when a person speaks you can hear sounds of instruments and that is why they can understand what the music is saying.
yeah that is true our language is base on tone. Probably explain why there’s so many hmong singers hahaha. Every instrument that a hmong plays even a leaf can speak.
its really hard to understand it. You’ll have to actually grew up with it surrounding you. Now i believe there’s is no young generation that can translate an instrument.
Check out this article about the instrument. It has no relation to Jewish people, but it’s called a jews harp.

Here is a Chukchi woman with the same instrument.
