Djembe - Tears Of Joy

tears of joy djembe (larger image)

Description: Tears course down twin faces that nonetheless smile. Exploring the range of human emotion, Nana Adu Amankwapam I sculpts this beautiful djembe from tweneboa wood. The djembe originated in Benin, where it is used during voodoo rites, and has been introduced into neighboring countries such as Ghana. It is an indispensable instrument in contemporary reggae.

Amankwapam crafts this drum entirely by hand. The goatskin head is affixed with iron rings wrapped in cotton, and a macramé cord can be slung over the shoulder.

TESTAMONIALS
"I am completely delighted with the "Unity" bougarabou which was purchased last week, and delivered to my door today (how astonishing is that?). It's not the biggest drum in my collection, but by far the most interesting, and it sounds great, too. Thank you! The NOvica experience has been overwhelmingly positive. I'm taking the drum to work tomorrow to show it off to a Ghanaian co-worker! Thank you, Sir! Thank you, Novica!"
