to MP3 sound sample of a low tuned Jina djembe playing Komofoli
These djembes go far above the call of duty of any professional
djembe. These djembes are so exceptional that we call them "Jina"
djembes. "Jina" means "spirit".
I truly believe these drums are the best
quality djembes available in the world currently. What makes
this site special is that you can pick any djembe on this site based
on its picture alone and guarantee that it will be more amazing than
you imagined when it arrives at your door. There are a lot of secrets that have gone
into the creation of each shell. The form of these shells are
the accumulation of 3 years of research and experimentation towards
the creation of the ideal djembe shell - in terms of both sound and
beauty. BTW, they are not created over night so
please be patient in terms of production of new jina djembes.
This is why are moto is:
"Top of the line, One at a time."
We do not produce these drums for
wholesale because this kind of quality cannot be made in quantity. We
take our time on each one. We also pay all workers
approximately 2 to 3 times the going rates to ensure fair trade values
and quality :) When you purchase a djembe from
rootsyrecords.com you support 4 things:
1) All of the
cultural preservation and promotion work for traditional djembe
drumming and dancing that rootsyrecords does in Mali. This
includes all the great free video footage offered up on
rootsyrecords.com and youtube.
2) Local
artists. I employ many local Malian craftsman to help me
at every stage. I pay workers 2 to 3 times the going rates
in order to play a small role in helping alleviate poverty in
Africa. I also believe in karma. The good you do in
life always comes back to you.
3) Helps
support myself and my large family of 8 people here in Bamako,
Mali.
4) You support
yourself by purchasing a djembe you can cherish and enjoy for
the rest of your life!
All djembes are finished with hand made peanut
oil and hand processed Malian bush bees wax.
We individually
pack each djembe securely and deliver to any country in the world
direct to your door from Bamako, Mali - West Africa using the
standard postal service. We haven't lost a drum in the mail
yet - fingers crossed :) Your purchase directly supports the
cultural preservation and promotion of traditional djembe drumming
through the Rootsy Records project. If you have any questions
about any of our items please email me at
rootsyrecords@yahoo.com

COMMENTS: First off, this djembe was carved
out of the log of a lenge tree that died naturally in the
bush here in Mali. The tree dried naturally before
being found. This is very rare and difficult to find.
Most djembe players in West Africa love this wood which they
call "Lenge Jalen". They say that the old wood that is
found already dried has the best sound for the djembe.
Because of the rare nature of this wood the price of this
jina djembe is higher than the rest. Extremely special
djembe.
This is our Large Jina size
djembe. Because of the size of this drum and difficulty in finding logs big
enough to form its bowl without sap wood, the price is
higher. If you are looking for a massive sound that
resonates this is your drum. This is a "Bara Djembe"
because of the round large bowl. This shape gives an
incredible resonant tone and slap. It has the village sound some djembe players
are looking for. Great djembe with top quality pure heartwood
lenge. All minor cracks have been perfectly repaired. They has no effect on quality of drum. More photos of this djembe
