Djembe

The djembe is a traditional West African drum known for its goblet shape and versatile sound, which ranges from deep bass tones to sharp, high-pitched sounds. Typically carved from a single piece of hardwood and topped with animal skin, it is played with bare hands. The djembe is central to many cultural and musical gatherings, used to communicate, celebrate, and tell stories through rhythm. Its dynamic sound and portability make it popular worldwide, often serving as both a social instrument and a tool for musical expression and community cohesion.
