A djembe (pronounced jen bay) also known as djimbe, jenbe, jembe, yembe, or sanbanyi in Susu; is a skin covered hand drum, shaped like a large goblet, and meant to be played with bare hands. According to the Bamana people in Mali, the name of the djembe comes directly from the saying 'Anke dje, anke be' which literally translates to 'everyone gather together', and defines the drum's purpose. 'Dje' is the verb for 'gather' in Bamanakan, and 'be' translates as 'everyone' in Bamanakan. Whilst our djembe stocks are always good, all models may not be in stock at the same time.
