Toda men with children singing on a grassy bank with one man playing a bhugri, Udagamandalam (India), 1984

Description:
Five Toda men sit on a grassy bank while singing. One, named Kotatu (from Kotanad), plays bamboo bhugri (a bamboo end blown trumpet with five or six holes), with one cheek bulging, which suggests he is using circular breathing. A little girl and two little boys sit in their laps. In the village of Kash Madh (Toda name), also known as Kandal Mund (outsiders’ name) within the city of Udagamandalam (also called Ooty or Ootacamund).

Toda man from Kotanad, Kotatu, plays a bhugri, Udagamandalam (India), 1984

Description:
Kotatu, a Toda man from Kotanad, plays a bhugri (a bamboo end blown trumpet with five or six holes). He is wearing a traditional ceremonial Toda shawl. He sits under a large tree in front of a stone and concrete Toda dogle (hut), a modern version of the traditional Toda thatch roof dogle. The bhugri was cracked and Kotatu had to repair it with gaffer’s tape and ash. He was not too happy with the sound. In the village of Kash Madh (Toda name), also known as Kandal Mund (outsiders’ name) within the city of Udagamandalam (also called Ooty or Ootacamund). A. A. Bake made a recording titled “Three songs with bhugri” Ootacamund (Tefi# 49.6, Tefi# 49.7, and Tefi# 49.8), dated 5/20/1938. In A. A. Bake letter #343, from Adyar, July 1, 1938, about recording Toda people, he wrote: “…it started raining and therefore [we] could not take close-ups of the bugīr which [we] thought was a sort of trumpet, but the principle was that of the flute and the sound of a trumpet" (translated by Felix van Lamsweerde). A. A. Bake was also surprised by the technique of breathing in and out at the same time, which he thought was not possible. He had seen it once before in Putturā, a man who blew a shell trumpet for long minutes, and here he saw it again with the Toda people.
