A type of musical instrument from West Africa resembling a one-stringed violin or fiddle.
From West African languages, particularly those of the Sahel region. The word refers to traditional string instruments that have been played for centuries in Mali, Senegal, and neighboring countries.
The andor's single string can produce haunting, voice-like tones because players use complex finger techniques and bowing to create microtones that don't exist in Western music—it's basically an acoustic synthesizer designed centuries before electronic ones.
