Its public ceremonial ensemble (biankomé) sets the chants of a lead singer, answered by a chorus in the society's ritual language, over three small single-headed drums (enkomo), the lead drum bonkó enchemiyá, the ekón iron bell, itón sticks beaten on the bonkó's shell and erikundi basket rattles. A generic membrane-drum card stands in for the drums, the agogo card for the ekón, the palitos card for the itón and a generic shaker card for the erikundi.",
