Simbiti

Simbiti is a traditional musical instrument from the Maasai culture in East Africa, particularly Kenya and Tanzania. It is a type of trumpet or horn made from natural materials like wood, metal, or animal horn. Played by blowing into one end, it produces a loud, resonant sound used in ceremonies, celebrations, and as a means of communication across distances. Simbiti holds cultural significance for the Maasai, symbolizing social status, community identity, and playing a role in rituals and festivities. It showcases the rich musical heritage and craftsmanship of the Maasai people.
