DJEMBE...The Power of Tribal Drums

[stiglaa]

Beautiful. I think it is not just for Africa, we all feel the pull of drums and a beat and song. It is something deeply embedded in us all. Its in our memories from time gone.

[ZacknSnuff]

Im so high.

[mdchoc13]

I hate to be half way off subject but as a movie nerd I have to say it.....THis song was in the original Dawn of the dead!!!!!!!!!! That's so cool to me!!!!

[Dreaklock]

This is great! It sounds just like when they call King Kong.

[dingdoob]

My Music teacher told me to watch this fro My Homework. Next lesson we get to play these drums!

[MARSBELLA1]

beautiful and stunning

[stefanicher]

can anyone just listen to music w/o being PC?? tribal... deerrrr not ethnic... errrr... who cares? common society is not smart! we are in a raw music talent here!

[Aidooholmes]

Great drums but its not Djembes. The Drums are the Royal Drums of Berundi ( hope its spelled correct)

[micflor531313]

Africans are ingenious with drums and rhythym. They could communicate with drums over great distances, and during the slave days in the South drums were banned out of fear that the drum communication would cause a slave rebellion. Much of our American music has African roots: jazz, rock n roll, hip hop. These sounds were developed over thousands of years by talented people. Hopefully they will last forever.

[dennyyoung215]

@micflor531313 of course they will last forever! This is true music here.... I'm addicted.

[TheLagunaSunrise]

@micflor531313 Well, humans won't last forever, so this music will have a hard time lasting forever.

[DHigable]

@USAwhiteManpower1 LOL!!! It just "kills" you that you and your kind could "never" come up with something like this on your own, doesn't it? I really love your spelling. You're too ignorant to be stupid. Show some respect for the "Original Man", you mutant.

[womaninga]

i don't hear DJEMBE drums in this track here...

[tkuliocowske]

i love the african culture. I love playing the djembe and particpating in drum circles. even just having drum circles around gives the place a great vibe. hope you don't take offense to this or anything, but the last picture of the slideshow was a tiger. tigers live in asia =] peace

[jimbe1969]

the picture of the toca, certainly doesn't magically transport me to the African plains...

[BeorhtFrognostic]

Powerful, stirring sounds.

[Annabellagem]

I agree, it is therepeutic to listen to the drums for me...I feel a connection to my ancestorial spirits, they/drums & afrikan chanting at the same time, make me soo calm .

[rocketcalcuttaTV]

[jebala2]

[meansalley]

[faderklas]

Have been looking for some powerful drum sessions - I need it for the adrealine

[theskeletonrockshock]

[12erb]

Sorry I can't view you. "We're sorry this video is no longer available" ?

[mamuezelle]

Beautiful!!!

[lavokos]

ok i am learning too play djembe and this was fun listening too come from norway and in the park in oslo there are many drummers i think summer

[javiernoteaburras]

astonishing

[hitomusic]

Like rolling thunder coming toward you slowly, from a far distance away, but coming toward you. Like a storm, growing in intensity. Excitement building, the moment of truth about to meet you. The old movie with Deborah Kerr featured this song in the movie intro. The dance at the end of the movie was just plain awesome, too. The movie story plot was awesome.

[ccampbell08]

stoner

[mrmatt411]

pretty big words for a stoner lol

[chrisxforbush]

@hitomusic What movie are you talking about friend? I'd love to see the dance to this.

[hitomusic]

@chrisxforbush hi chrisxforbush. The movie is "King Solomon's Mines". It's an older movie starring Deborah Kerr. You've got to see this movie.

[bloobeee]

@hitomusic lol looks so amused eh?

[nexisten]

astonishing

[solboard]

I would love an entire album compilation of this sort of Djembe drumming, but it is hard to find any at all. Can someone point me to some?

[markcrombie]

'Drums of Death' is a field recording of funeral music from Ghana, have listened to many African drumming albums and this one stands out, it has an intensity and coherency compilations often lack due to its being an actual celebration of the life of someone close to the performers. Hard to find you should find on soulseek, better to buy IF YOU CAN??

Thanks ronald591 for posting.

[kruzenby]

Drums of Death - Adova 1 / watch ? v = 7RcJC4L2JEo

[marisabellas]

My solos and rhythms are pure language, expression, communication....

[punketteamoignon]

I think you don't understand anything... I Hope U're not drummer or percussionist

[cruthybabie]

This stuff is incredible...infinitely inspiring. I wish there was more djembe in America.

[oldetymefunk]

who made this song>

[ronald591]

a friend sent it to me...they said it was off a recording called "Sounds from the African Plains"

[bsjunior]

@ronald591 LOL...... ;-)

[WitnessTheDevine]

@ronald591 Please next time avoid to use the term ''tribal'' instead of ''ethnic''!I know ur intentions are good.Djembe is a Mandinka(or malinké) instrument along with Kora and Balafon.And Mandinka is an Ethnic group of millions of people spread all over west africa.And the language is composed of douzens of dialects.They same culture and traditions.Its is more than tribal!PEACE!!!

[neversurdender]

@ronald591 are the lower drums also djembes?

[Kyleaxe]

you did!

[JoeMcdonnell]

@oldetymefunk going by the raw sound and subtle background 'tremmbella' beat, it is almost certainly an early recording of 'No Scrubs'. by TLC

[jethrot1]

very beautiful............
