Complete novice here, but I noticed that none of these is a wind instrument.

Any thoughts?

They only blessed the rains, not the wind in Africa.

African instruments focus a lot more on percussion ðan ðeir counterparts in ð rest of ð world, wið singing being used to cover ð harmonic part winds do elsewhere.

It's actually a key reason why Jazz developed ð way it did, as an initial combination between European harmonies and African rhyðms.

Why do the first 2 adungus look nothing alike, but the first adungu looks just like the final wambi?

Different sizes of the same instrument. Not sure what the relation with the wambi is.

Rocking the Krar sounds pretty metal. I wonder how it sounds.

Humbucker and wah pedal. Good choice, that's how I play my funky tunes as well.
