Guinea, which  boasts some of  the  best djembe drums in  the world, has a wonderful tradition of music and dance that is too special not to be shared.  It is a tradition that has made us famous in West Africa, a region known throughout the world for its percussion music and dance. Traditional values of many of the ethnic groups have been transmitted through percussion rhythms and dances for centuries..
The roots of these rhythms are the spiritual energy of African people. 
By studying our various traditional percussion instruments, one can further develop an understanding of our music, traditions, and culture.
