Which are typical djembe rhythms? | My Gambia

The Djembe is an essential ancient musical instrument of the Manding-speaking people in West Africa, dating back centuries. It is a hollow goblet-shaped object, usually covered with animal skin and artistically tied with ropes, producing enchanting rhythms which speak to the spirit and soul. As mystifying as the African society is, most of these rhythms were reserved for specific occasions, making them sacred and culturally significant.

Several rhythms have been composed by several skilful drummers and regions within the Djembe tradition to celebrate strength, farming, spirituality, festivity, etc. We bring you a few rhythms, their origin and cultural significance.
