| THE INSTRUMENTS |
|
| DJEMBE: a goblet-shaped drum with a single skin that is played with bare hands, and which generates a wide range of rich, resonant sounds. |
|
| DUNUN: the Dunun, or bass drums, from the highest to lowest are: kenkeni; sangban; and dunumba. These two-headed, barrel-shaped drums are played horizontally with a stick. The drummer uses the other hand to play a metallic bell called kenken, which is affixed to the side of the drum. Together, these drums form the bass line of the djembe orchestra. |
