A moment of spontaneous drum music during a gathering at the Santa Ynez reservation in California. The two voices are a male Pueblo Indian chant and a female voice singing in Hebrew.
A wonderful drum, I managed to pick up on my travels in India. Whereas the Tabla and Pakhavaj are used more in classically influenced situations the Dholak is widely used in folk music in India.
This drum is used in southern India, often a counterpart to the Pakhawaj. The Mridangam is the most important drum in Karnatic music.
