A Folk Dance of Sikkim


Chyabrung or Ke, a long cylindrical hollow-long drum, is the most popular musical instrument of the Limbu Community of Sikkim. The folk dance of the Limbu community is also known as Chyabrung.

The dancers hang the Chyabrungs around their neck and beat the drum with palm on one side and with a stick on the other side. In this manner, the Limbu dancers execute delicate and complicated foot works to the beats of the Chyabrung. It is a song less dance and is based on rhythmic music. In this age-old folk dance, the Limbu dancers depict graceful movements of wild animals and birds.
