  • L'hudukkâ, huruk, hurkî, hurko, hudko, utukkai, udukkai ou udukku est une famille d'instruments de percussion de l'Inde et du Népal. C'est un ancien similaire au damaru du Nord et à l'idakka du Sud,. Il est toujours utilisé dans la musique kéralaise rituelle par la caste des Mârârs, dans les ballades martiales de la musique rajasthanie, dans les rituels chamaniques et toutes formes de danses folkloriques. Vu son faible encombrement, il accompagne aussi les musiciens itinérants. Ces tambours se caractérisent par une tension modifiable de la hauteur du son lors du jeu et ont donc une vocation mélodique autant que rythmique. (fr)
