Kurung-kurung is a traditional Banjar musical instrument originating from South Kalimantan, Indonesia.
Initially, this instrument was played by Meratus Dayak cultivators when planting rice together.
The end of the bamboo stick with wooden pegs serves to make holes in the ground to insert rice seeds during farming activities.
When a stick of bamboo is pounded into the ground to make a hole, a tone is created.
When the cultivators planted rice together, the men stomped (kurung kurung) to a happy rhythm, making holes in the ground while creating beautiful music.
