DESCRIPTION:
The djembe is the most versatile percussion instrument in the world. Here is a fun jazz groove I did with a musician called Newman. Enjoy:)
My current setup consists of a Meinl foot tambourine and a 12' UFIP splash cymbal alongside my djembe.
I'm a Kenyan "Contemporary Style" Djembefola. Contemporary style is an approach to djembe playing that uses techniques that make the djembe best compatible with contemporary music. A contemporary or "acoustic" djembefola is known less for his power or volume and known more for his finesse, control, speed and dynamics.
