What's the name of the Indian dance snake?
It's called "Puji", a unique Indian musical instrument. Puji is a musical instrument of Indian snake blowers, and also a folk musical instrument of Punjab, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Pakistan in northern India. Puji is said to be a musical instrument introduced to India by Gypsies or Rome, and there are similar musical instruments from the Middle East to North Africa. Puji in India looks like a gourd, and then a blowpipe made by Zhi Zhu or Luwei is inserted. There is only one blowpipe in the Middle East and Africa. This intubation can also be inserted a few more to meet different requirements. It is said that up to five intubation tubes can be inserted.

The melody of Puji is very strange. It's not a strange sound that is used to lure the snake out of the cage. In fact, snakes have no ears, so they can't hear Puji's music. It may be a response to the high volume of Puji's voice and the * * * vibration!

The CD of Pengji is hard to find, but JVC has a collection of folk songs featuring Pengji and the ensemble of Pengji and Tabula, which are very precious and worth listening to.
