Meaning of Igba[edit]

Interesting to contrast this stub to talking drum, which is a different instrument but known by the same name in the Igbo language if both articles are to be believed.

It's not impossible that both are correct and both can be reliably sourced... African anthropology was the flavour of the month for a number of decades, and many learned papers seemingly contradict one another, for the simple reason that the culture was changing rapidly and the two authors did their field work a decade or more apart.
