The ''culo'e puya'' drums, also known as ''culoepuya'', ''culo e puya'', or ''culepuya'', are a battery of small drums originally from Venezuela, with a Kongo lineage. They are used in an ensemble also known as ''redondo'' drums, after the dance motion and the circle which forms around the dancers during performance. ==Organology== The ''culo'e puya'' battery comprises three drums made of lightweight wood from the tree known locally as ''lano'' or ''ceiba de lana'' (''Ceiba pentandra'', a member of the Bombacaceae family, to which Balsa also belongs). Both ends have skin heads, which are joined with tensors made of rope (nylon rope is commonly used today). The drums are roughly 1.5 m (4 ft.) in length and between 10 and 15 cm (4-6 inches) in diameter. The inside of the drum is carved in the shape of an hourglass, instead of a cylinder. There are three different diameters, each corresponding to a distinct "voice" or pattern. The different diameters are known as: *Prima - The smallest. Also called ''hembra'' (female) or ''quitimba'' or ''quichimba'' (a word of probable African origin, but whose exact meaning has been lost). *Cruzao - The middle diameter drum. The name means "hybrid" or "crossed". *Pujao - The largest diameter. Also called ''macho'' (male). The word ''pujao'' is a vernacular misspelling of the past participle of the verb ''pujar'', which means to struggle, to push, or (colloquially, in South America) to moan as a result of extreme effort. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Culoepuya」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
