Colorful watercolor painting of a traditional African hand drum.
A djembe or jembe, originally from West Africa, is a rope tuned skin covered goblet drum played with bare hands.
The Bambara people of Mali claim that the djembe gets its name from the phrase "Anke djé, anke bé," which means "everyone gather together in peace" and describes the drum's purpose.
The verb "djé" means "gather" in Bambara, and "bé" means "peace."
The djembe is a highly versatile drum that can produce a wide range of sounds.
The drum is extremely loud, allowing it to be heard easily over a large percussion ensemble as a solo instrument.
