Djembé drums from West Africa

A few more images shall follow. The Balafon, so it is said by musical West-African legends, has not been invented / first-made by Man himself, it is of supernatural origin… Underneath its wooden and tuned sound bars lay resonating jugs of clay each to create this fascinating rich sounds. A short audio sample recording of Alpha playing the balafon next:(Note: Alpha Oulare is demonstrating the African Balafon in free improvisation. He points out not to be a very skillful player himself (yet), rather still student at this particular instrument. It’s a life-long learning. You hear a plain cellphone recording with added reverbation/hall effect, sounding as if from far away…)

During his Percussion Workshops Alpha Oulare mostly plays the Djembé drum with his students, partly also Doundoun and Sangba, Tenkening. (All photographs having been taken on Saturday, June 25th, 2022, in place.)

Contact Mister Alpha Oulare to test-play and and purchase these original, traditionally manufactured West-African musical instruments, each item is unique and sounds authentically good, made from best wood to endure:

LAST NOT LEAST WORD ON PRICES: Prices. These are fair and not too expensive, no amoral profit shall be made, but the African manufacturers and importing trading/messaging helpers find their acknowledgement. We regard it to be a better solution to obtain and purchase these instruments from first hand other than as from musical stores and major Internet distributors, cheapest used defect items of unkown origin, or non-african forgeries and replicas, or so-called special editions of drums at over-sized pricing… You will always also find help and advise in/on maintaining the instrument healthy and in good sounding shape, loving it as musical friend and partner.

T R A N S L A T O R

ᎪᏁᎮᎻᎪ ᏅᏬᏞᎪᎡᎬ was born in Faranah from an original Mandingo family in Guinea Conakry and comes from the generation of the seventies. He started playing drum at the age of five. He describes himself: »I saw the Djembé in a dream after I had left a cultural place where I had met Ma Siré Camara. I was ten years old and I said to him that I love the music, then he told, come with me … I studied with him for five years and soon became a member of his ballet. Afterwards I joined the group Kounkouré Bamba. At first, I accompanied and later became a solo Djembé player … I then met Famoudou Konaté and Mamady Keïta. We also played with Faduba Oulare and his Ensemble in numerous traditional festivals all over Guinea.«
