Musical Instruments

Ensaasi

Ensaasi, also known as Ensaasi-Enseege, are traditional Ugandan percussion instruments commonly referred to as shakers. They are idiophones, meaning they produce sound through the vibration of their entire body when shaken. These instruments are most closely associated with the Baganda people of central Uganda and the Basoga people of eastern Uganda. Ensaasi are typically made in pairs and are used to accompany other traditional musical instruments in Ugandan music and cultural performances.
