The Instruments


The ravanne: a goat skin drawn taut over a circle of wood to form a flat drum.
The maravane: a kind of hanging rattle; branches of sugarcane flowers or a metal leaf perforated with tiny holes are fixed to a wooden rectangular frame. Grains or little pebbles are placed inside the rattle and sounded by moving it from side to side.
The triangle: the classical instrument, a little iron rod which strikes the three sides of the triangle.
