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.
