- This is a video collection of "Classic Djembes" and "Drum Circle Djembes" being hand crafted in Ghana, Africa by the Africa Heartwood Project.
Description of Africa Heartwood Project:
Drums with heart. Drums that make a difference. Drums that were and are part of something living, dynamic, eternal. Each Heartwood djembe is a symbol of hope and sacrifice and partnership. In a market based economy where the imperative is to maximize profit at any cost, Africa Heartwood Project is using the free market as a humanitarian tool to generate sustainable livelihoods for hard-working artisans in West Africa who otherwise would not have access to markets large enough to provide for their families. With a long-term commitment to individual drum and instrument builders, AHP has given hundreds of hours of skills training and business mentorship, helped extend micro-loans and donated funds valuing thousands of dollars to purchase tools, buy land, build workshops, and purchase raw materials, and has helped to established solid distribution channels that will ensure that the artisans can count on income next month, next year, and through to the next generation. African Heartwood Project labors on behalf of the entrepreneurial artisans to keep their hands busy, bellies full, and hope alive.

What impresses me the most? No power tools. Not a single piece of modern tech touches those drums. I hope this art form never dies, it MUST be kept alive! Earlier in this thread someone said he bought one in Ghana for $50. I'd gladly pay twice that for all the work and talent that goes into constructing these. Amazing!!
Except the ones that made their tools.
Credit goes far and deep.
I'd definitely triple the price because nothing beats handmade.🙌🏾🤎
Yeah but still, those tools have got to have some quality steel to hold an edge, especially those chisels and adze-like axes. Steelcraft like that is high tech.
So beautiful to see the whole community involved in the making of djembes. May they prosper and live in peace.
That's called fully handmade. Respect and love 🙏💐
Hand and foot made
I can't believe how much effort is needed to build those, they sound amazing!
An African knows everything. The coordination of skills is also quite astounding
wow! that rhythm groove that kicks in around 2.51 is REALLY lovely.
very melodic and harmonic
What a beautiful process.
Got to build Djembe as workout, the guy in the beginning is mega defined.
fasinating to see how the djembe is made!
It’s just incredibly heartwarming.

Phillip Anyi Thats True..

Meu Deus, que trabalhão pra se fazer um djembe, mas ficou magnífico, tem que respeitar....
Thankyou for posting! :)
buen trabajo
The real question is how much percentage do the Village get in return?
Perfeição....Manual ainda
Wonder!!
sensacional 😍👏👏
Cool.
Grazie
I have a rather large djembe which is also built in Ghana. I wonder if I'm looking at the people who built mine. It sounds great. Sadly, I live on the 4th floor, and playing it in my apartment at full power would result in the police showing up.
PS: The sound on this video is really good. Good work!
every body,at some point in their life,should use a djembe,and ride a bicycle...it need not be at the same time or place,..our bodies will reach a common calibratation,the seeds of empathy will be sown,and then begins the dance...
talented people,,,i wish more carving on it
nice
That's awesome how they make it
Can I make one?
❤

ഇവന്മാര് പൊളിയാണല്ലോ
Verdadeiros artistas
Wow, It is really beautiful watching the teamwork put into one drum. I have been working on one as a gift to my brother for 3 months and am not even close to being done. Can you tell me what the name of the tool used at 0:49 sec and 1:12 min? THX :)
Qui est 5eH avec Mme Pecoule?^^
@jhenry291 The tool at 0.49 is just a machete. The other tool... I don't know what they are called in Ghana, but woodcarvers here in the US call them "crooked knives." There ware some smaller versions available from Sweeden at a reasonable price.
That's beautiful work they do. Does anybody know what kind of wood they r using?
are the villagers seeing a decent return on their hard work? TY P

Takes a village to make a djembe.
Djentbe
Generally speaking how much do they cost?
hej im david from ecuador i want to know about djembe wood ? what wood using for to make djembes ?? i have a djembe made from yours thank you
What size steel rod is used
How do i buy them
Enige iemand wat vir my 'n djembe kan gee?
bhai kaha melegi dolak mujhe chahiye yarr
Can you tell me where i can get the tools they use in the video? I've looked everywhere in Canada and the USA. Thx!
most looks like this are made specifically for the maker by a blacksmith. I would start by sourcing car leaf springs, and if you're handy forge them yourself out of that material or find a local blacksmith who can make them for you.
jason henry hi you can only get them from a right resources here in Africa.
How do I buy one?
water please
;)
근육오진다
I would have thought to have used hot coals to burn the hole through the drum, then come back with chisel in hand to carve the rest of it.
it's possible to work the wood in this style while its green/fresh - cause it's so soft. But one should expect it to twist and change later as it dries
CAPI
these are working in there bare feet i think these guys dont know the definition of a splinter...
Not from Ghana,there are cheap djembes because, djembes don't come from ghana.Ghana only manufacture djembes for money.True djembes are from Mali and Guinea.
In West Africa people travel freely and skills are passed throughout the region.
