Bendir / Daf

Bendirs and dafs belong to the large family of frame drums, ancient instruments that have existed for thousands of years across all continents.

Through their shape, playing techniques, and rhythmic structures, these instruments reveal strong cultural connections, whose origins are lost in the depths of history.

The daf, also known as katem, is today one of the most widely used frame drums in the Middle East, found in both traditional and spiritual music.

The bendir, often fitted with one or several strings stretched across the back of the drum, is especially popular in North Africa, where it plays a central role in many rhythmic traditions.
