Did you know?🪘🪘

The djembe is deeply rooted in the traditions of the Manding peoples, such as the Bambara and Malinké of the historic Mali Empire in West Africa. Its name originates from the Bambara phrase "Anke djé, anke bé," which translates to "everyone gather in peace."

Hand-carved from a single piece of wood and topped with goatskin, this drum has been at the heart of community life for generations.
We’re learning together at Mebala Creative Kids! ❤️🥁🌍
