Current Goal

My mission is to have the rythms of this drum be heard around the world and eventually be one with the djembe drums of Africa. Take me around the world and beat this drum to share the warmth and passion that emminates from the tribal sounds of hand drums.

Take pictures of the drum being played around the world to share its experiences with all. Ultimately, this drum's goal is to be part of a drum circle in the homeland of the djembe in Africa.

About This Item

A djembe (pronounced /ˈdʒɛmbeɪ/ 'JEM-bay') also known as jembe, jenbe, djimbe, jymbe, yembe, or jimbay, or sanbanyi in Susu; is a skin-covered hand drum shaped like a large goblet and meant to be played with bare hands. According to the Bamana people in Mali, the name of the djembe comes directly from the saying "Anke dje, anke be" which literally translates to "everyone gather together" and defines the drum's purpose. In the Bambara language, "Dje" is the verb for "gather" and "be" translates as "everyone".

There is general agreement that the origin of the djembe is associated with a class of Mandinka blacksmiths known as Numu. The wide dispersion of the djembe drums throughout West Africa may be due to Numu migrations dating from the first millennium A.D. Despite the associations of the djembe with the Numu, there do not appear to be hereditary restrictions upon who can play the djembe as occurs with some other African instruments.
