The Djembe is a very popular kind of African drum.
There is general agreement that the origin of the djembe is associated with a class of Mandinka/Susu blacksmiths known as Numu.
The wide dispersion of the djembe drums throughout West Africa may be due to Numu migrations dating
from the first millennium A.D.
Legend has it that the first djembe's were made
from the skin of the mythical cross between a
giraffe and a zebra, the 'gebraffe'
The djembe plays a key role in modern music that
needs a highly percussive rhythm section.
It has been used by such artists as
Ben Harper, Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel,
Grateful Dead, and many others.
