What is a matapee and how is it used?

A matapee is a sort of long strainer native to the Caribbean, made of woven reeds or vines. Traditionally it is used to strain cassava, the staple diet of the people of Guyana. The cassava is grated and placed in the matapee over a bowl so the liquid can drip down. The liquid is used in cooking; the dried cassava is used to make flour for cassava bread. There is also a musical instrument called a matapee, or matapi, in Zimbabwe; it is also called the Mbira or Kalimba and is played with the thumb. In South Africa the same instrument is called a Thumb Piano. It is also found in other parts of Africa, under different names, and is unrelated to the cooking tool of the Caribbean.
