스리랑카는 풍부한 악기 전통을 자랑하며, 이는 문화유산에 깊이 뿌리내리고 있습니다. 게타 베라야, 야크 베라야, 다울라와 같은 전통 북은 각종 의식과 축제에서 중요한 역할을 합니다. 그 외에도 탐마타마(쌍북), 라바나하타(현악기), 호라네와(관악기) 등 다양한 악기가 스리랑카 음악에 독특한 리듬과 선율을 더합니다.
A country rich in cultural heritage, the importance given to music in Sri Lanka spans across centuries. The music culture of our land is a tapestry that is so vibrant and regal and it has been woven with a diverse range of influences including religious rituals and entertainment. Some of the traditional percussion instruments that are still used such as the ath rabana (hand drum) can be considered as a part of the heart of Sri Lankan music.
Also known as the spinning rabana, these hand drums are available in 2 different sizes - 8” and 10” diameters. The hide of the rabana is made of goat skin while the wood is Jak. Played with one hand, some performers revolve the instrument on the tip of their fingers while some are spun in the air on special sticks and balanced on their heads or mouths. These visuals and traditional beats are hard to forget. Talented Raban players use their fingers to add variety and depth to the beats as well. Lakpura Ath Rabana can be used in cultural events and ceremonies.
