Product Description
The fascinating beats of the djembe drum call out in celebration in the name of Akwapim village. Nestled in Aburi this village is famous for its botanical gardens which inspire Ernestina Oppong Asante. Hewn from a block of tweneboa wood this traditional percussion instrument features carved scenes of everyday activities in Akwapim. The goatskin head is affixed by iron rings wrapped in cotton and a macrame cord can be slung over the shoulder. The djembe originated in Benin where it is used during voodoo rites and has been introduced into neighboring countries.
