The instrument
The Djembe is a West African Drum that has shaken up the world, with its versatility and strong sound volume and intensity. This handmade and hand-tuned djembe is a testament to the Brazilian and African interface, with African technologies being present in Brazilian Ground.
Made From Massaranduba wood, carved by hand, and tuned using natural goat skin, this is one of those instruments which has a unique sound and look.
The culture behind the craft
Before it is an instrument, it is a voice.
Every instrument in this workshop is born of Afro-Brazilian tradition — carried from the terreiros of Salvador and the drumming traditions of West Africa. Read how the rhythms of Bahia are played, and why an instrument made here carries more than its materials.
