Ravanne
Ravanne is a traditional percussion instrument from the island of Mauritius. It is made from a circular frame covered with goat skin, which produces a deep, resonant sound when struck. The instrument is often played during cultural celebrations and is an essential part of the local music scene, particularly in the context of Séga, a popular music genre in Mauritius.
The ravanne is typically played by hand, allowing musicians to create various rhythms and tones. It is often accompanied by other instruments, such as the batterie and maracas, to enhance the overall sound. The instrument reflects the rich cultural heritage of Mauritius and its diverse influences.
