rebana
The rebana is a traditional percussion instrument commonly used in various cultural music, particularly in Southeast Asia. It is a type of frame drum, typically made from wood and covered with animal skin. The rebana is played by striking the drumhead with the hands, producing a deep, resonant sound that adds rhythm to musical performances.
Often associated with Islamic celebrations and cultural events, the rebana is an essential part of Malay and Indonesian music. It is frequently used in ensembles, accompanying singing and other instruments, and is known for its role in fostering community and cultural identity through music and dance.
