Literally they play this instrument in different variations from Macedonia to Armenia to Turkey to Lebanon people - calm down. It’s a drum with sticks, one of the most primitive instruments that you probably can’t really place to one peoples history. Just enjoy the music
Yes. And, no. The drum is played all over, but "Tupan" is Bulgarian. Other countries call it by different names- Daouli, Davul, and lots more. Thanks for watching.
This was a short little sample to introduce the instrument. There are probably some really good instructional videos out there. This Tupan is from Bulgaria, but there are similar instruments all around the region.
