Darbuka....
The sound has never met your ears....
But the rhythm of the darbuka has been radiating in Middle Eastern air since the beginning. Also called the Goblet Drum, it was, in ancient times constructed with whatever was at hand: clay, metal or wood but now in our digital age it could be aluminum, fiberglass or copper.
Its responsive drumhead and resonance produces a distinctively crisp sound, which formed a symbiosis with a key dance form: bellydancing.
Have a listen, but don't blame us if your midsection begins to gyrate......
