Duffmuttu is also known as Aravanamuttu. It is a group performance
popular among the Muslims of Malabar. Duffmuttu is staged
as a social event during festivals and nuptial ceremonies.
The artistes beat on a quaint round percussion
instrument called the Duffu, the leader of the group sings
the lead, while the others form the chorus and move in circles.
The songs are often tributes to martyrs, heroes and saints.
Duffmuttu can be performed at any
time of the day and has no fixed time limit .
