'SAPAIYOR' IN KOOTHTHU

'MATHALAM' A KIND OF TRADITIONAL DRUM IS BEING USED IN KOOTHTHU AS THE MAIN AND ONLY INSTRUMENT WITH THE SUPPORT OF 'SALLARI' WHICH CONTROLS THE BEAT SYSTEM. THERE ARE NO MEASURES TO CONTROL THE SOUND OF MUSIC IN KOOTHTHU. THE VOCAL MANAGEMENT IS IN THE BREATH OF THE PERFORMERS. ITS THE ART OF THE PERFORMER TO MANAGE THE VOICE WITH CO-PERFORMERS IN AN OPEN SPACE AND  IN THE NIGHT.
