Bodu Beru is a type of music and dance performed by about 15 people, including three drummers and a lead singer. They are accompanied by a small bell and a small piece of bamboo with horizontal grooves, from which raspy sounds are produced by scrapping. The songs may be of heroism, romance or satire. As the song reaches a climax, one or two dancers maintain the wild beat with their frantic movements ending in some cases in a trance. It is one of the most popular forms of artistic expression in the Maldives; and if you go visit you can check it out; it is a truly wonderful experience.
