Deep in the bush of Burkina Faso, the drum is a sacred instrument, surrounded by taboos and mystery. It takes on endless shapes and performs many functions: taking the place of the human voice, carrying news, conferring praise and speaking to the world beyond...when it isn't simply providing the rhythms for a dance.
But, the world is changing. Today, a younger generation looking for adventure and recognition is bringing the drum out of its "secret universe," turning it away from its ancient functions and re-shaping both the drum itself and the manner in which it is played!
"The djembe is an hourglass-shaped drum used throughout much of sub-saharan Africa. Although other instrumens are present on a few tracks, the focus here is squarely on the djembe. The rich and varied rhythms represented would benefit any student of percussion." - All Music Guide
