djembe (/'ÊÉmbÉ, 'ÊÉmbeÉª/) The djembe is the goblet shaped drum from West Africa. Abdoul Doumbia, a Djembefola from Sgou in Mali explains that the word 'jembe' comes from two Bambara words, 'Din' which means unity and 'Bin' that signifies harmony. Variations on the spelling of djembe include jembe, dynbe, djimbe, guiembe, jimbe and yembe.
The djembe drum is said to have been invented in the 12th Century by the Mandinke tribe in what is now Mali, in West Africa. It has been played by West Africans for generations forming an integral part of ritualistic life in Mali, Guinea, Senegal and other neighbouring West African countries.
