Djembe drums
$45.00
The talking drum dates back to 500 AD and was used in large societies as a secret drum through ceremonies, ancestor worship, ceremonies and ballroom dancing. According to the Bambara people of Mali, the African drum takes its name from the saying “Anke djé, anke bé”, which means “everyone live in peace”, and the name defines the purpose of the drum. In Bambara, “djé” is the verb “to gather” and “bé” means “peace”.
This drum is believed to contain three spirits. First, the spirit of the tree that made it. Then there is the spirit of the animal who is playing the skin, the spirit of the carver or the man who fell the tree, and the spirit of the man who assembles the drum. Traditionally, only those born into (or interested in) a djembe family can play djembe. This caste sings and performs at ceremonies, baptisms, weddings, and sometimes funerals, and is familiar with the music of their ancestors.
