Fun facts about djembe:

The term “djembe” originates from an African saying which translates to:

“everyone gather together in peace”.

The djembe drum is most commonly associated with the people of West Africa and it is one of West Africa’s best known instruments. The goblet-shaped drum is traditionally carved from a single piece of African hardwood and topped with an animal skin as a drumhead. Its use originated in Mali and people have been using the djembe since the 12th century!
