Voiced velar plosive.
When we pronounce this sound, the back of the tongue, the active articulator, is in contact with the velum, the passive articulator. A complete closure is produced. The velum is in its raised position. When the articulators are separated the lung air goes out through the mouth producing a kind of plosion. The vocal folds vibrate during the production of this sound.

The soft palate is in its raised position and the vocal folds vibrate. The back of the tongue and the soft palate form a closure which prevents the pulmonic air stream from escaping. When they separate, the air escapes with a kind of explosion.
