The word Abeng is a Twi word from Ghana, meaning animal horn or musical instrument. Abengs were primarily used by enslaved people in the West indies and Jamaica to communicate with each other and call secret meetings. The Maroons of Jamaica used the horn to communicate over great distances in ways that could not be understood by people outside of their community.
