Tamang Damphu

The Tamang Damphu (Nepali: डम्फु) is a unique percussion instrument, similar to a large tambourine, deeply connected to the heritage of the Tamang people of Nepal. It is the most significant musical instrument in Tamang culture, used to create the rhythmic beats of Tamang Selo music, a popular folk genre known for its lively and soulful melodies.

Mostly popular in Nepal, eastern Bhutan, Myanmar, Sikkim, and the Jalpaiguri district of West Bengal, the Damphu is traditionally played during festivals, cultural events, and ceremonies. Handcrafted from high-quality wood and stretched leather, this instrument produces a deep, resonant sound, making it a staple in Tamang musical traditions.
