The five-headed drum consists of four small Melina wood djembes attached around a larger djembe.
It is only played by hand, and tuned up or down the same way a regular Djembe is.
Also called 5-Headed drum, its four small drums are each tuned to produce a sound distinct from the others. It is found amoung the Guerze ethnic group, in the forest regions of Guinea (West Africa) , place where this set originates from.
All musical instruments are authentic pieces imported directly from west Africa
(Guinea, Mali, Senegal, Sierra Leone.). The craftsmen who create them are descended from families who have produced the same artefacts from generations. They have mastered the techniques of selecting materials and building instruments through the years. Hear for yourself the unique sound that first echoed through Africa and now the world
