Soku

A soku is a traditional West African instrument used in a type of music called Wassoulou which originated from the region of Wasulu. It is a traditional fiddle, sometimes replaced by modernized versions of the instrument. Known as the "n'diaraka" or "njarka" in Songhai, it is composed of a single string that usually wails the feminine vocal melody.
