Did the Black Panther score use Didgeridoos?
I tried to google, but couldn't really find any help.
In the track "Waterfall Fight" on the Black Panther score (not the soundtrack), I could swear it sounds like they used didgeridoos. I know the composer was going for the "tribal" feel, which makes sense, but it just takes me out of the track a little bit, given that didgeridoos are Australian tribal, not African.
So I was wondering either
a) were they, in fact, didgeridoos? or
b) is there some African tribal instrument that sounds similar to didgeridoos?
Best Answer
That's a low brass instrument. Doesn't need to be a didgeridoo specifically. In fact, that sample sounds more in-tune than typical of a didgeridoo. I'm closing out with examples of didgeridoo and a possible African instrument:
"Musicologists classify [the didgeridoo] as a brass aerophone." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Didgeridoo"The kakaki trumpet is a long musical instrument, played by the indigenous members of the hausa/fulani communities in Northern Nigeria. The one in this video was played at the Gong Palace, Kagoma, Kaduna State, Nigeria."
