djembe drum

Beautiful and sonorous, this djembe drum depicts an African elephant. It comes from Daniel Asante's skill and imagination. Carved by hand, the pachyderm holds the cup-shaped drum in its back. Hand-woven kente cloth surrounds it. The goatskin head is affixed by iron rings wrapped in cotton, and a macramé cord can be slung over the shoulder.

The djembe originated in Benin, where it is used during voodoo rites, and has been introduced into neighboring countries. It is indispensable in contemporary reggae.

The rhythms of the always-beautiful Ghana are at your reach with Fredrick Affum's djembe drum. Crafted by local artisans, experts in the creation of this unique instrument, the piece features a sese wood structure enhanced by a goat skin top. The middle section is made from a kente-patterned cotton textile, adding color and tradition to the design. Then, the base pays homage to the region's fauna with a painted rhino scene, symbolizing good luck. Finally, black cords finish the accessory, ready to add music to your days.
