DOHAR | LOKODWANI | DOTARA | FOLK INSTRUMENTAL COMPOSITION

It is a instrumental production of Dohar ( A group of folk musicians). In this video we are featuring the instrument DOTARA. The Dotara, literally meaning “two-stringed”, is also a folk musical instrument that resembles a guitar or a mandolin, or the long necked two-stringed lute found in Central Asia. The Dotara dates back to the fifteenth or sixteenth century, and despite its name, may have more than two strings, often four, five or six. The Dotara can produce drones, rhythmic adjuncts and also melodies, and was possibly devised in the course of the development of a sense of melody. Like the Ektara, the Dotara is also made by stretching leather on a hollowed wooden frame. Strings made of brass, or twisted silk strands, are attached to the base of the frame at one end, and to the pegs at the top. The pegs are used to tighten or loosen the strings, which are known as the jil,sur, vam and gam. The wooden top of the Dotara is decorated with engravings, usually of birds. The Kati or plectrum is made up of horn, bone or wood.
