“Mak-Kub-Kab” is a percussion instrument made of hardwood and featured in 2 varieties: short and long. Its history has not been evidently documented.
The performance has no fixed pattern, depending on more occasions and the performers’ wits and improvisation.

Mak-Kub-Kab is a percussion instrument used as part of the rhythm section in performances in Isan. A preliminary survey has indicated that it is played to accompany Mor Lam performances called “Mor Lam Kub Kab”(Charoenchai Chonphairot, 1983), to accompany Nang Pramothai performances, to accompany a Pong Lang band, and to be part of Nang Hai performances.

Mak-Kub-Kab is an ancient performance with no evident record of its history.
At present, Mak-Kub-Kab can be performed locally on all occasions and in all places, generally in traditional festivals for merit-making in Isan.
Mark-Kub-Kab acts as a colorful rhythm section whose performers can be both male and female.

Although it was originated at a local level with no fixed performance pattern, Mark-Kub-Kab has started to play a more prominent role as an established performance, and its movements have recently been documented more clearly and systematically as a performing art.

Nowadays, Mark-Kub-Kab is very popular in Isan folk bands, especially in Pong Lang bands where it is performed together with Nang Hai. In addition, it is performed in other types of performances as mentioned earlier, but the contexts and details of those performances are still unclear.
Due to its significance shown above, the researchers were interested in studying Mak-Kub-Kab in the Isan culture in terms of its history and roles in folk performances.

 

Also, Mark-Kub-Kab features in Mor Lam Plern and Pong Lang performances. In the culture of Pong Lang performances, Mark-Kub-Kab is featured in 2 phases.

The first phase is the Mark-Kub-Kab Lam Plern performance in the form of a Pong Lang performance (Roi Et College of Dramatic Arts) derived from the old concept of Mark-Kub-Kab in the Mor Lam Plern performance by Sao Noi Phet Ban Phaeng Group.

The second phase is the latest development of Mark-Kub-Kab in a Pong Lang band featuring the performance of the instrument together with that of “Nang Hai”. This type of performance is the most popularPong Lang performance of today’s time.

Mark-Kub-Kab is rarely played with other instruments as part of a musical ensemble. Its main purpose now is to feature in a show.
