The Mougongo is a sacred musical bow used in Bwiti ceremonies to guide the spirit into vision and align with the ancestral rhythm of the forest. Handcrafted from natural wood and string in Moughenda’s village, it produces deep, vibrating tones played by the mouth and fingers — echoing the heartbeat of the Bwiti path.
This instrument is not merely played — it is breathed into, becoming a living expression of the spirit’s journey. The Mougongo is essential in ceremonial music, offering protection, grounding, and a bridge to the unseen world.
Its sound is said to “call the soul home,” stabilizing the initiate during moments of transformation and connecting the body to the teachings of iboga.
