Chenchu boys playing drums

These Chenchu boys wear the typical cloth penis cover, held up by a twisted fibre, while the older also wears an extra piece of cloth wrapped around his waist. The drums are made of goat skin stretched over a hoop of tamarind wood. They are tapped with two sticks, one of bambo and one of a tamarind.
