Drums

Djembe and Dun Duns Drums,  West Africa

The most common and popular drums in west Africa, djembes are distinguished by their simple but elegant shapes and powerful sound. They can be tightened and tuned by tying the lines together.   Dun Duns or Dununs are masterfully carved of a single piece of legally harvested Mahogany hardwood, designed to produce the authentic sound of the African bass drum. The drum heads are made of cow hide with the hair left on to produce heavy tones and eliminate ringing overtones.

Thanks for your visit.

Mari, excelente imagen y excelente documentación sobre este artesano, en un encuadre  fantástico, integrado en la naturaleza que le provee de la materia que necesita para fabricar estos sonoros tambores. Gran trabajo.

Un cordial saludo, Joaquín.

Fantástica!! Me encanta.

Un abrazo

una exquisita descripción, que da a la foto ya de antemano, la sensación de estar ya escuchando, el sonido de percusión del instrumento. Un lugar ideal que da al ejecutante la atmósfera ideal para expresar en su totalidad los sentimientos y emociones. Bellos colores y una bonita composición.

Saludes...!

Lovely shot! A more closer one would expose better the subject I think.  Take care!

Thanks for your kind comment, Panayotis, here is a closer pic. Regards. 

I like both original and the 'closer' one. While this is not a bad thing, i was attracted by the very rich green and then the drummer and the red objects (contrasts with the green)  on the far left. Nice work.
