What is the English name of matambaka?

"Matambaka" is a Swahili word, and there isn't a direct English translation. It refers to a type of drum used in East African music, particularly in Kenya.

While there's no official English name, you could describe it as:

* A Kenyan drum

* A matambaka drum

* A double-headed drum (as it has two heads)

* A gourd drum (as it's often made from a gourd)

The most accurate way to refer to it would be "matambaka drum."
