Daffo

Daffo is a traditional West African musical instrument, typically made from a hollowed-out calabash or gourd, covered with animal skin to create a drum. It is played by striking the membrane with hands or sticks, producing rhythmic sounds that are essential in cultural ceremonies, dances, and social gatherings. The Daffo's size and design can vary, allowing for different tonal qualities. Its role extends beyond music, often serving as a symbol of cultural identity and community cohesion in the regions where it is traditionally used.
