Kadae |
Several metal bangles,
kadae, gradually
increasing in size from the wrist to the arm of the wearer,
and a stick or rod 30 to 35 cm long constitute this
instrument, long associated with the Sufis. The stick is held
in the same hand as the bangles and struck against the bangles
in time to the beat of a chant or song. The tone varies
according to the material and diameter of the kadae Several
contemporary folk singers, particularly the singers of Sufiana
Qalam, use this plain and simple accompaniment.
