Details

Crafted with artistic excellence, this authentic djembe drum blends sonorous beats with visual delight. Drums such as this one originate from Benin, where it is used to accompany voodoo rites. Samuel Coleman names this djembe Kete, in honor of the dance of the same name usually performed by the Akans of the Ashanti region. Coleman hand-carves this djembe from local tweneboa wood, and the drumhead is made of goatskin. A fanciful rope net embellishes the piece and wood polish tints the wood. Enjoy the rhythmic soul of Africa with this superb djembe masterpiece.

I have this precious African drum displayed on the wall on a stand for all to see. I have had many compliments and everyone has been impressed with the craftsmanship and quality of the drum. I am very pleased with the purchase and it was well worth the money that was spent for it.

"What a Beautiful Suprise"

I received this djembe drum after about 1 month from my order and I am blown away by the quality of the drum. Its wonderful to know that I have a piece of art thats been made with love and care over something manufactured in a factory. Money spent on art is money well-spent and I am happy my money has gone to a real person with true mastery of his craft. highly recommend this drum to anyone who wants a unique and genuine djembe from Africa. The sheepskin is also such an interesting texture and very unique to this drums tyle. love it!
