A djembe or jembe  is a rope-tuned skin-covered goblet shaped drum played with bare hands, originally from West Africa. According to the Bambara 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.
