GANDANG

The Gandang is a traditional percussion instrument


originating from the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. It
consists of a cylindrical drum carved from a single piece of
wood, with a stretched membrane made from animal skin
covering one end. Played with bare hands or sticks, the
Gandang produces deep, resonant tones, often used to
accompany traditional music and dances of the indigenous
tribes of Mindanao. Its rhythmic beats add a rich layer of
cultural significance to performances, reflecting the vibrant
musical heritage of the region.
