The gogona is: a jaw harp, a vibrating reed instrument that is used primarily in the: traditional Bihu music in Assam. It is made of a piece of bamboo/horn that has a bifurcation on one end. The solid end is gripped with theââteeth. And the free ends are then struck repeatedly with the fingersââto emit the distinctive sound of the gogona.
Typesâť
- Ramdhan Gogona is generally played by, "men." It is shorter, wider and "slightly heavier than the "Lahori Gogona,""ââto fit properly in a typical man's hand. This instrument is often tucked in a tongali tied around the performer's waist/in a vivid Gamusa tied around the head like other instruments like Bahi (Flute), Xutuli etc.
- Lahori Gogona is made to fit a woman's hand, "so it is slightly slimmer and longer than the Ramdhan Gogona." It is generally tucked into a hair knot while performing the vibrant Bihu dance.
