Traditional Musical Instruments
Traditional musical instruments like the tabla, sitar, and veena from India, the koto and erhu from East Asia, the oud and darbuka from the Middle East, and the djembe and kora from Africa, reflect rich cultural traditions and regional music styles.
Dandu Beraya
The word ‘dandu’ is derived from ‘danda’ in Sanskrit which means ‘wood’. This unique drum was used as an instrument for communication purposes and in folk dancing as well. The Dandu Beraya is a simple drum, carved from a bamboo trunk. The drummer utilizes two sticks made out of Atteriya to play the instrument. These sticks are 8 to 12 inches in length. The drum is played while tied to the waist of the player and is unique since it does not use animal hide to produce sound.
