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。
