My passion is using music to connect people, inspire creativity, and build community through rhythm.
The Djembe, where does it come from?
The djembe is a hand drum from West Africa, known for its powerful sound, deep bass tones, and vibrant rhythms. Played with bare hands, it is one of the most expressive and dynamic percussion instruments in the world.
The djembe originated among the Mande people of countries such as Mali, Guinea, Senegal and Ivory Coast. Traditionally, it was played during important community events like, Celebrations, Harvest Festivals, Weddings, and Storytelling gatherings. The rhythms were not just music – they were a way to communicate, celebrate, and bring communities together.
