IUE FOLK DANCE CLUB
BENDİR
It is the form of percussion instrument known as circle or tambourine in Classical Turkish Music and especially Mevlevi praise music, peculiar to maghrib countries (mainly to Morocco and Algeria). The name of “bendir” derived from maghrib arabic language has commonly used in Turkey after 1980s.
The distinctive feature of “bendir” which is produced by stretching leather on a circle tambour of 40 - 55 cm – diameter is the ropes stretched inside in order to ensure resonance. The instrument have been used in the medivial European music with the name timbre or tymbre (French) since 12th century. It is most likely that the Arabic name of the instrument is derived from that in French.
Recently, the instrument has been commonly used in Turkey and has become the most commonly used rhythm instrument in Turkish Folk Music as well as the hymn music. It can be also observed in some Turkish rock songs.
