These sheet-metal horns produce only one sound. A melody is
created by combining the sounds and rhythms of all the musicians. Konè
are played by bands who walk the streets, generally under the direction of a leader.
The bands form the structure of the carnival, and their primary role is to entertain
people during this period of celebration. They sing, dance, juggle and perform magic
tricks.
