The height of a djembe is usually about 60 centimeters, the diameter of its covering made ​​mostly shaved goatskin about 30 centimeters. African djembe drum be struck only with the bare hands and are characterized by a wide spectrum of sound from whose deep bass the djembe the special, cup-shaped form of her body. <br /> <br />African djembe drum be used both as a solo and as an ensemble instrument. The typical cast of an ensemble consists of a mostly slightly higher than the other tuned solo djembe, one to two accompanying African djembe drum and one to three bass drums. While for most Europeans the Djembéspiel remains a hobby, is a traditional African drummers professional musician who knows a large number of rhythms and dances and his instrument perfectly mastered. Drum students undergo a year-long training. Since many strains originally no sound - or music notation have the rhythms and techniques are not written down, but passed from generation to generation orally. <br /> <br />As fur for African djembe drum earlier was antelope skin used today one uses mostly thin-cropped goatskin, which pulled in a traditional djembe using two stoffumwickelter metal rings on the upper opening of the timber body, and then by means of a string system and a third to drawn the waist drum metal ring is clamped. This formerly indigenous cords were used natural materials as bowstringer - today one finds instead usually a four to six millimeters thick simple, pre-stretched for better African djembe drum polyester cord. <br /> <br />The traditional djembe is tuned using special clamps nodes that are linked by a simple pattern and starting circulating the djembe from the lower metal ring in an ascending helix towards fur. When tuning or re-tensioning of such traditional djembe are using the revolving tensioning cable (see Fig. Above) any two adjacent longitudinal lines drawn over one another, that the mesh around the top of the drum so that by every new node spans on and so also the is drawn ever tighter he held fur. <br /> <br />As the African djembe drum are made ​​the Dunduns from a tree trunk, but who - unlike the African djembe drum - a continuous cylindrical cross-section, the two sides on a slightly thicker, again by a special cord system taut Cowhide closes. Dunduns are therefore usually played not with their hands but with sticks, traditionally of three musicians who carry around the drums to suit the occasion, either before him or leave on wooden crosses in front of him. It is also possible that only rests the Dundun as largest of the three drums on a wooden cross while Sangban and Kenkeni by small metal hooks on both sides of Dundun at the upper clamping ring (see fig. Above) are suspended. <br /> <br />In some dances, finally, the high and the middle Kenkeni Sangban the female and the deep Dundun symbolize the male dance figures. Combined with different bass figures of Dunduns and get the same basic rhythms of djembe not rare even different names, according to which they will be played on different occasions. <br /> <br />Human culture in Africa is as old as the race itself; and includes the rock carvings of the Neolithic period (10,000 BC), the petroglyphs of ice ages, hunter-gatherers in the prairies of North Africa, the prefecture of Egypt and ancient Egypt. <br /> <br />One of the main ones: The indigenous music and traditional African dances that have been passed via traditional and is different in both the north and south. Many African languages ​​are tone languages, so the sound level determines the meaning. The latter affects African melodies and rhythms. In the African continent, different instruments are used, among which are: the drums (the most used), bells, lute, flute and trumpet. African dances are an important means of communication and dancers use gestures, masks, costumes, body paint and a host of visual media. The basic movements are usually simple, emphasizing the body, the torso or feet only. The dances are sometimes performed alone or in small groups of two to three people. <br /> <br />There are also believers of Rastafarianism. Islam has a dominant presence in the north and highlighted in the Sahara, the Sahel, West Africa and East Africa. He, though older than Islam, Christianity was confined to monofisita Ethiopia. <br /> <br />Thank you for supporting the creative commons movement !! <br />Category <br />Music <br />License <br />Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)
