Earth Day Celebration with the Instrument Gumot
Art escape The Live Music Project (TLMP) & Music Mania Foundation presents a special concert! Glorifying The Gumot – Goas Soul Unifier with Jazz, Rock and Pop with 3 bands live in concert.
Brief of the Instrument: The gumot is a membranophone percussion instrument from Goa and Karnataka. It is an earthen vessel, in the shape of a pot, having both sides open. On the bigger opening a drum membrane is tied taut around it. In the old days, it was mounted by a membrane made of the skin of the monitor lizard. Now, with the banning of the use of the skin of the lizard, more innovative methods are used. One of the membranes now used are synthetic membranes made from artificial materials. The sounds of the gumot are manipulated by the opening and closing of the smaller hole with the palm of the one hand while the membrane around the larger opening is delicately struck with the other hand to produce the sound. The concept of Glorifying the Gumot comes from the fact that the gumot was the first ever instrument used in a Indo-Western fusion. This happened with song-dance-lyrics in the traditional Goan folk dance called the Mandó. This experiment called Glorifying the Gumot is an idea to take forward this concept and experiment on new rhythms with the gumot.
