The Goje, is one of the many names for a variety of one or two-stringed fiddles from West Africa, almost exclusively played by ethnic groups inhabiting the Sahel and Sudan sparsely vegetated grassland belts leading to the Sahara. Snakeskin or lizard skin covers a gourd bowl, and a horsehair string is suspended on bridge. A Goje is played with a bowstring.
The Goje is commonly used to accompany song, and is usually played as a solo instrument, although it also features prominent in ensembles with other West African string, wind or percussion instruments, including the Shekere or Ney.
The various names by which the Goje are known by include: Goge (Hausa/Zarma), Gonjey (Dagomba, Gurunsi), Gonje, (Mamprusi-Dagomba), Njarka (Songhay), N'Ko (Bambara, Mandinka and other Mande languages), Imzad (Tuareg), Riti (Fula) or (Serer).
