Abstract
German
German
Nach einem Schlitztrommelsignal werden im oberen Stockwerk des Männerhauses auf sieben großen Bambusquerflöten und einer Sanduhrtrommel drei Musikstücke gespielt. Die Musik gilt als Stimme der weiblichen Gottheit Yumanwusmangge, die als Schöpferin der Töpferei für das Töpferdorf Aibom besonders wichtig ist. Sie wird tagelang vor dem Auftreten der gleichnamigen Maskenfigur gespielt.

After a signal on the slit gong flutes and one hourglass drum are played in the upper storey of the men's house. Three different pieces are performed. The flute's music is regarded as the voice of the female ancestress Yumanwusmangge originally associated with the making of pottery in Aibom for which that village is rightly famous.
