EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910s, showcases a group of Georgian Traditional Musicians from the Caucasus region, showcasing their unique instruments: the Double Drum (Diplipito), Daira (a variety of tambourine), Tar (a small guitar, a variant of the much larger sitar), and the Bowed Kamanche (similar to a bowed rehab). The musicians, collectively known as Sasandaren, are dressed in traditional Georgian attire, adding to the authenticity and richness of the scene. The Double Drum, or Diplipito, is a large, double-headed drum, played with sticks. It is often used in Georgian folk music and dance, contributing to the rhythm and energy of the performance. The Daira, a type of tambourine, is adorned with jingles and played with the hand, adding intricate percussive accents. The Tar, a small, plucked stringed instrument, is a Georgian variant of the sitar, featuring a long neck and a gourd resonator. The Tar's melodic and resonant sound is a staple in Georgian traditional music. The Bowed Kamanche, resembling a bowed rehab, is a traditional Georgian stringed instrument, played with a horsehair bow. Its hauntingly beautiful sound is often used to evoke emotion and add depth to the music. The history of Georgian traditional music and its instruments is deeply rooted in the country's rich cultural heritage. The Sasandaren musicians, with their unique instruments and traditional attire, offer a glimpse into the past and preserve the legacy of Georgian music for future generations.
