"I purchased the Mahogany jambe drum, 'Bhoma, Lord of the Forest' for my boyfriend who is a drummer. He had recently broken the head on an African hand drum he owned and I looked forward to surprising him for his birthday with a replacement. Aside from the absolute beauty of the instrument, the tone is incredible! We are both thrilled with the quality of Mr, Anam's work and look forward to seeing and potentially purchadsing other pieces from this talented artist."
