Discover the
magic of Darbuka

The darbuka, also called dumbek, darabuka or tabla, has different forms and different playing techniques. Originally from the Middle East and the Maghreb, this instrument is an integral part of the history of the Arab peoples. Effects on the instrument's skin or body allow for musically rewarding results. The richness of sounds and the particular timbre offered by the darbuka make it the most widespread percussion in the Middle East.
