Madal is a Nepalese percussion that forms the backbone of most Nepalese songs! It is a hollow cylinder with the ends closed tightly by animal skin, usually that of a goat. This instrument is mainly used for kepping the rythm in the song. Madal originated from the Magar community.
Madal is usually played in horizontal position gripping it between the legs. However, in concerts we see two madals played in an inverted position. But here is a man who plays more than 10 madal at once. Enjoy the video…
