Mine (Zimbabwean 🇿🇼) is the mbira.

Jah Prayzah the guy singing is a renowned musician.

They seem to be using the mbira in modernized covers, but the metal pestle order seem the same as the more traditional looking ones.

P/S I'm not self promoting the YouTube link. It just shows how the mbira sounds unedited.

And I believe the electric guitar as well! George Beauchamp, along with Adolph Rickenbacker developed the first electromagnetic pickups.

Another unrelated U.S. one that comes to mind is the sousaphone
