The Djembe is the drum of the Mandinka people, and its origins dates back to the great Mali Empire of the 12th century.

Djunjuns or Dunduns are a family of three cylindrically shaped drums with cow skin affixed to both sides (double-headed) which provide the rhythmic and melodic base to the djembe orchestra.

The Kpanlogo drum as with other African drums were used as a form of communication as they could be heard clearly over large distances.

Talking drums, widely used in Ghana especially by the Ashantis, send messages of happiness, sorrow, and war to other tribes through the beating of the drum.
