The Djembe (jem-bay) originally comes from West Africa, where it has historically been used in both religious and secular (popular) music. The unique shape of the Djembe allows it to produce three distinct tones: a very deep bass tone when played in the middle of the head, a mid tone when played off-center, and a dry, high-pitched sound when played at the edge. In addition, different parts of the hands, palms, and fingers are traditionally used to create the characteristic variety of Djembe sounds
