Hi there

Any djembe drummers in South Africa wanting to get together and jam?

Please contact me!

Hey we were just talking about south Africa. Whats the scene like there? What are the djembes being made out of? Hopefully some nice, dense, heavy wood? Or is it mostly replicas made from light/soft wood? Are there any problems with de-forestation due to djembe making? Do most people down there respect & study the tradition or is it more "free-style"?
thanks in advance..

Having just moved back here after being away for six years, I am not sure what the scene is like here to be honest. I can say that it seems to be more free-style here whereas I prefer a mixture of both traditional and free-style.
