about
Drums are a central component of most African cultures. The djembe, a West African drum, typically played with the hands, is identified as a goblet hand drum. Griots (storytellers, historians) and other prominent musicians use the drum for storytelling, conveying critical spiritual, cultural, and historical information. Drummer Kweku Sumbry opens the work with a beautifully crafted, intricate, unaccompanied Djembe Kan (the sound of the djembe) to initiate the call to everyone that it’s time to gather to hear what Derrick Gardner and his group have to say.

Kweku Sumbry - Djembe
An incredibly rich record, where jazz gets mixed with a lot of other sounds influences, like classical music and hip-hop. It is also very accessible yet superberly played. It's a really great piece of musical work. Thibaut Devigne
