Group Drumming

Music is mixed with the Kurds’ daily life; most of them play Daf and nearly all of them can sing their special song classes (Hauoreh and Siyah Chamaneh). During the sacred chants many people played Daf together in great harmony. It is exciting to know that they just start playing together without prior group practicing and in many cases they barely know each other. They synchronized their heart with the rhythm and rest will be synchronized automatically. They also switch between rhythms as the mentor switches, because the rhythms should be played in a certain order during the chant. Time of passage between the rhythms is defined by the mentor based on the situation and based on the emotional feeling of the group.
