I do not understand the translation given by the page below, but to my humble opinion this cannot be meant by the historic article. First the spelling clearly is not Rameu. The first character very clearly is an "N". Secondly the article has nothing to do with african drums nor with an orchestra. If we assume there is a spelling error, I would rather go with "Namen" than with "Rameu". Regards, Thierry   Dr. Thierry P.
