ISO CodeWhen the garamut is used to call people together, the particular timbre of the garamut can indicate to whom the message applies. Orora has five clans within the village, and different drums, with different sounds, for each clan. An integral part of the communication system based on the garamut is that individuals can recognise their own instrument at some distance. A person hearing their own garamut being beaten may understand this as a signal to hurry home.
