The buhay (Ukrainian: бугай) (also known as a bugai, buhai, berebenytsia, bika, buga, bochka). (Buhay is the Ukrainian and Buhai the Romanian word for "ox", which, in its turn, is derived from the Turkish boğa, and its use as name of the instrument refers to the sound produced.)
Hornbostel-Sachs classification number 232.11-92
The buhay is a percussive that was used in Western Ukraine and is classified as a friction drum. It consists of a conical barrel (sometimes a wooden bucket). At one end a sheep membrane is stretched with a hole in this skin's center. Through this hole a tuft of horse hair with a knot at one end is passed. Usually two performers are needed to operate the instrument, one to hold the instrument, the other to pull the horsehair with moistened fingers. In recent times versions of the buhay have been made which are held in position by the players feet allowing one player to play the instrument. These instruments can be played successfully by one player without assistance. Five to six different sounds can be obtained from the instrument, depending on the skill of the player.
The buhay plays an important part in New Years and Christmas rituals.
It is used in works by the Ukrainian folk instruments orchestra.
The buhay and local variants is common to Ukraine, Romania, Moldova, Hungary and Lithuania.
The buhay has been used as a leading instrument in the title track on the album "Vidlik" by the Ukrainian electronic experimental music band ONUKA.
