Mbiwi

Mbiwi are bamboo claves that Mayotte women clash to a particular rhythm, it is also accompanied by songs[1] and dance, traditionally practiced on the island of Mayotte where it is reserved exclusively for women.[2]

The mbiwi[3] begins when a mother from mahoraise begins to sing and another dances while tapping on the mbiwi. The women are grouped into associations which invite each other.[1]  It is the older mothers who sing because they learned the lyrics when they were younger.[1]
