This instrument is a Djembe (pronounced JEM-bay), a rope-tuned, skin-covered goblet drum that originated from West Africa.Traditionally played with bare hands, the Djembe is crafted from a hardwood shell and topped with a rawhide head, most commonly goat skin. It is known for its incredible versatility, capable of producing three distinct sounds:Bass: A low-pitched sound made by striking the center of the drumhead.Tone: A medium-pitched sound produced by playing near the edge.Slap: A high-pitched, piercing sound created by striking near the edge with the fingers.The name is derived from the Bambara saying "Anke djé, anke bé," which translates to "everyone gather together in peace
