The Efe pygmies live in the Ituri region, in the north-east of the Democratic Republic of Congo. They live in contact with forest farmers groups, the Lese and the Mamvu. Hand clapping, interchoking sticks, cracked pieces of bamboo struck with a stick and Kuce drums are their usual percussion. The Luma whistle ensembles are mainly played by the Efe during collective celebrations. Efe quite often use Domu harps and Likembe. This last instrument is sometimes found very far in some the forest camps. Mouth bows are used by Lese and Efe men before the hunt, to trap the animals' minds or to make interludes when they tell of chantefables. Bark horns ensembles called Mai are played during Tore ceremonies. These horns are usually played by the Efe. Each horn gives a note and plays a rhythmic formula which intertwines with that of others to form a Hoquetus, in fact a polyrhythmic polyphony. The longest is about five feet and the shortest is thirty centimeters. They are rigorously tuned according to a pentatonic scale.
