AFRICAN DRUMS
• Decorative accent pieces for your home!
• Beautiful gift item!
The unique sound of the African Djembe drums is as distinctive as the drum
itself. Because of their goblet shape, the density of the wood, the internal
carvings and the skin, each drum has a unique range of tones that the West
African masters can create. Historically, these sounds have long been used
to call for the hunt, to celebrate births and to spread the news of war
across the land.
The history of the African Djembe is unique. It was an instrument of the
Mandinka people, and is found in every land and tribe of West Africa. It’s
said that the Numu, or blacksmiths of the Mandinka, who began migrating
across the land during the first millennium A.D, created the drum’s unique
shape. The djembe is a people’s instrument. And while some instruments of
the Mandinka nations and other people of West Africa often carried a class
restriction on who could play them, the djembe was for the self-expression
of anyone.

techniques to create a drum worth of its unique heritage. Our skilled
