Drone

In music, a drone is a harmonic or monophonic effect or accompaniment where a note or chord is continuously sounded throughout much or all of a piece, sustained or repeated, and most often establishing a tonality upon which the rest of the piece is built. The systematic (not occasional) use of drones originated in Ancient Southwest Asia and spread north and west to Europe, east to India, and south to Africa (van der Merwe 1989, p.11). It is used in Indian music and is played by the tambura.

Este tocador de tambura que vemos na fotografia era um virtuoso muito famoso na índia, mas houve uma gralha, o seu apelido é silva, sirkali g. silva, da parte do pai que esteve na guerra de moçambique. o sirkali dá-lhe bué na tambura e é MD! força aí ó Silva!!
