Djembe D 非洲鼓D

 

Code : TT 108

Introduction :

Djembe is played throughout West Africa. It first came to world attention in the 1950s through the European tours of Les Ballets Africains. Latterly, the increased popularity of world music has also helped disseminate its influence.

According to the Bamana people in Mali, the name of the djembe comes from the saying "Anke djé, anke bé" which translates to "everyone gather together in peace" and defines the drum's purpose. In the Bambara language, "djé" is the verb for "gather" and "bé" translates as "peace".

Djembe can produce a wide variety of sounds, making it one of the most versatile drums. The drum sound is very loud, allowing it to be heard clearly as a solo instrument over a large percussion ensemble. The Malinké people say that a skilled drummer is one who "can make the djembe talk", meaning that the player can tell an emotional story. (The djembe was never used by the Malinké as a signaling drum to send messages.)

Djembe is normally played with bare hands. Traditionally these drums are carved from a single log and have a solid body below the cup of the goblet. The interior of the drum has a series of teardrop-shaped divots that enhance the drum timbre. The head is made from goatskin or calfskin, and is laced to the drum body with cords running vertically down the drum. More cords are woven horizontally through the vertical cords to tighten the head.

簡介：

非洲鼓在整個西非非常流行。它在20世紀50年代透過Les Ballets Africains的歐洲之旅，第一次受到世界矚目。之後，世界音樂的日益普及，也有助於散播非洲鼓的影響力。

根據馬里班巴拉人，非洲鼓的名稱來自『Anke djé, anke bé』，翻譯為『每個人都聚集在一起，和平相處』，並定義為鼓的目的。根據班巴拉語，『djé』是動詞，解作『聚集』，而『bé』解作『和平』。

非洲鼓可以發出多種不同的聲音，使它成為最『多才多藝』的鼓之一。非洲鼓的鼓聲很響亮，令它能在大型的敲擊樂合奏中，好像獨奏樂器般清楚聽到其聲音。馬林克人說，一個熟練的鼓手是『可以令非洲鼓說話』，這意味着鼓手可以用鼓，告訴一個情感故事。 （馬林克人從來沒有用非洲鼓作信號鼓，發送消息。）

非洲鼓通常用手演奏。傳統上，非洲鼓由一塊木頭製造，雕琢成高腳杯的形狀。鼓身內有一系列水滴狀的草皮，加強鼓的音色。鼓面是用山羊皮或小牛皮製造，由向下垂直的線／繩環繞鼓面邊，連繫鼓身。更多的線／繩水平交織於垂直的線／繩，用來收緊鼓面。

Guitar-shaped Kalimba 結他形狀的拇指鋼琴

 

 

Code : TT 105

Introduction :

Kalimba (Sansa – known as Thumb Piano in Europe) is an African musical instrument, a type of plucked idiophone, common throughout Sub-Saharan Africa. Each note of a Kalimba, Mbira, Kaffir Piano and so on is a separate idiophone, and in orchestral terms, the instrument as a whole belongs in the bar percussion family (specifically : lamellophones).

Kalimba traditionally consists of a wooden board to which metal tines of varying lengths are affixed. Some have mechanisms for readily tuning the tines to different scales. The longest tines are typically placed in the center, with shorter (and thus higher-pitched) tines arranged alternately in descending order towards both sides of the instrument. Kalimba is most commonly held in both hands, with both thumbs being used to pluck tines either simultaneously or in turn. Kalimba is often played at religious ceremonies and social gatherings. The Shona people of Zimbabwe traditionally believe that mbira music brings the world of the living in contact with the world of the spirits.

Origin and Changes of Kalimba :

The Kalimba appears to have been invented twice in Africa : a wood or bamboo-tined instrument appeared on the west coast of Africa about 3000 years ago, and metal-tined lamellophones appeared in the Zambezi River valley around 1,000 years ago.

簡介：

拇指鋼琴是非洲的樂器，一種彈撥類型的體鳴樂器 (idiophone)，在撒哈拉以南的非洲相當普遍。Kalimba, Mbira, Kaffir Piano 等是單獨的體鳴樂器，總括來說，屬於敲擊樂器 （明確地：屬於 lamellophones類別）。

拇指鋼琴傳統上由不同長度的金屬片子貼在木板上組成的。調整不同長度的金屬片子可以調較樂器的音調。最長的金屬片子通常放在樂器的中間，較短的金屬片子（較高音）順長度次序放置於兩側。最常用雙手拿起拇指鋼琴，用雙手拇指同時或輪流彈奏。拇指鋼琴通常於宗教儀式或社交活動上演奏。津巴布韋 Shona族人傳統認為 mbira音樂可以帶來生物世界與靈體世界的接觸。

拇指鋼琴的起源及變遷：

約三千年前，用木或竹製造的拇指鋼琴出現於非州西海岸地區。約一千年前，用金屬製造的拇指鋼琴出現於贊比西河流域。
