The rhythms of West Africa begin long before the first beat is played. 🪵 Each djembe is hand-carved by skilled artisans, often drawing on centuries-old traditions. These patterns represent unique themes such as community, harmony, or even blessings for the drummer. Watch as raw timber transforms into a masterpiece. 🪘 | African Drumming

Across West Africa the most commonly found drum is the talking drum, it spans several countries and ethnic groups. Over the years, our Director Simon has studied with many Talking Drum masters from myriad tribes - Wolof, Dagomba, Yoruba, Hausa. He loves the pitch bend and the frequencies it reaches. Played tastefully it adds so much to an ensemble. Back in 2007 in Bamako, Simon met the finest exponent he has come across - Saied. Check out his control, sound and speed. | African Drumming
