One of the most well known forms of folk music in Maldives is Bodu beru. Featuring drums made from coconut wood, this kind of music is accompanied by a lead singer and a chorus consisting of around 10 to 15 people. Another form of folk music is Fathigandu Jehun which is restricted only to male performers who use bamboo sticks as part of the performance. Gaa Odi Lava and Thaara are some of the other traditional folk music that can be heard in the Maldives, each offering a different listening experience.
