Dhumpa sangita
Dhumpa sangita is a folk musical art form from the Ganjam district of Odisha in India. It derives its name from the dhumpa, a bamboo percussion instrument that accompanies the performance. The tradition is currently on the decline and faces the threat of extinction.
The dhumpa consists of a cylindrical hollow bamboo, of six to seven feet in length, wrapped in colorful zari and fitted on a long wooden ply. It can be played by up to four persons simultaneously. The dhumpa is traditional played with sticks to produce a rhythmic beat, a technique that continues to be used by modern tribal musicians.
Dhumpa sangita performances have troupes of up to ten musicians who play different percussion instruments, a principal singer, chorus singers and a Gotipua dancer. In some performances the principal singing is accompanied by instruments like harmonium, tabla, flute, veena, mardal, thali and nagara.
Dhumpa’ performances have become a rarity. But ‘Dhumpa’ is a part of Oriya literary and cultural history. According to Satya Moharana of Berhampur Music Circle, revival of Dhumpa would also help popularise writings of great poet Kavisurya Baldev Rath.
Digapahandi in Ganjam district happens to be the birth place of Kavisurya. The poet was believed to have invented the Dhumpa.
