ENGLISH
Fara-fara is a trumpet-like instrument built similarly to the keko, with a distinction being with the mouthpiece and reed. The fara-fara has a bamboo tube body around 1.5m in length and a cone trumpet made out of palm which is attached to the end of the instrument, like with the keko. The mouthpiece is cut diagonally, over which a small leaf-shaped piece of dried palm leaf is inserted to function as the reed, held in place in a slit made in the top of the bamboo tube.

The instrument is played by holding the instrument pointing downwards, and blowing a long extended breath. Strong lungs are needed to blow loudly. The instrument is used to scare away birds from eating rice fields and other crops.

In these videos, Americo Marques Cabral demonstrates how to make and play the fara-fara in aldeia Codo, sub-district Lautem.
