Deb,

As other Tweeters have already noted that the penny whistle is
Irish in its origin, it also is a prominant instrument in
South African township music and is the primary instrument in
a style known as "kwela". Many in the west were introduced to
some of this music via Paul Simon's "Graceland" album.
