    Wood kpanlogo drum, 'Nanakasa'

    Graceful and beautiful, the kpanlogo drum is a revered element in the music and culture of the Ga tribe in Ghana's Greater Accra region, marking the rhythm for the traditional kpanlogo dance. However its characteristic deep, loud sound makes it a popular instrument throughout West Africa. Samuel Coleman crafts this handsome drum of tweneboa wood, affixing its calfskin drum head to wooden pegs with stout ropes. Ashanto symbols adorn its carved surface. The name he chooses, Nanakasa, is a saying used to motivate a chief or king to express his views, whether in an angry mood or not. "Nana" is the title of an Akan chief, while "kasa" means "talk" in the Akan language. The drum is finished with brown and mansion polish and painted.

    "I was born on November 24, 1974. I stayed with my mother and started schooling at the Methodist primary school in town. I then moved to where my father stays, to be with him and to continue my education. I therefore studied at the Swedru School of Business where I took General Arts as a subject. While I was there, I was very much involved in the school's cultural troupe and performed with them. Upon completion of the Swedru School, I was a bit stranded with no money to further my education at the university level. Due to my interest in all things cultural things, I then decided to get involved in artworks, especially carving - drums to be specific. I moved back with my mother and then went under a three year training period, and now I am a master training three boys in the art of drum-making."

    I purchased a djembe ""Adowa"" as a birthday present to myself. I was hesitant to purchase a drum online without actually handling it and playing it. It arrived on time and is a beautiful piece of work....
