All musical instruments have the ability to attract various sorts of energy to their owner. He clears energy – his own and that of others, listeners – again and over again while he plays his instrument – African drums.
Each instrument has a specific energy type that it attracts. Strings and keyboards are good luck charms, and African drums can bring in huge riches
Bendir
The drum of northern Africa (Maghreb), particularly the East Berber region, is Bendir. It’s a wooden frame drum with an animal skin covering on one side. Strings, usually attached to the inside surface of the bendir membrane, it causes additional vibration in the sound when struck. Bendir with a very thin membrane and reasonably strong strings produces the best tone. Orchestras from Algeria and Morocco present both modern and traditional music. Bendir, unlike Dafa, has no rings on the reverse of the membrane.
Tarija
Inside the small porcelain, goblet drum is snakeskin and string. Since at least the 19th century, it employed to accompany the vocal component in Calhoun ensembles in Morocco. The singer controls the orchestra’s pace and tempo by striking the primary rhythm with his hand. The song’s finale used to boost the song’s vitality and rhythmic ending.
Tobeleki
Darbuka with an amphora-shaped body from Greece. In Thrace, Greek Macedonia, and the Aegean islands, Greek music performed. Clay or metal make up the body. This sort of drum is also available from Savvas Percussion and Evgeny Strelnikov. The tobeleki’s bass differs from the darbuka in that it has a more boomy and mellow tone.
Kraken
Kraken, also known as Kakadu (Kakadu), is the native musical instrument of the Maghreb. A pair of metal spoons with two ends known as Kraken. When playing, a pair of these “spoons” held in each hand, making quick, pulsating noises with a mutual collision of each pair, creating a vivid ornament for the rhythm.
Gnaua’s rhythmic music relies heavily on Kraken. It mostly used in Algeria and Morocco. According to folklore, the sound of cracks resembles the clanging of metal shackles worn by West African slaves.
Tavlak
Tavlak (tavlyak) is a tiny ceramic cup-shaped drum from Tajikistan (20-400 mm). It is primarily utilised as a part of an ensemble with a doira or daf. In contrast to the darbuka, the waka sound is long drawn out, with a wah effect more akin to doira or Indian percussion. Tavlyak is very popular in Tajikistan’s Khatol region, which borders Afghanistan and Uzbekistan and can be played solo.
Kshishba
These drums mostly employed in the Persian Gulf countries in Choubi music and the Kawleeya dance direction (Iraq, Basra). A narrow tubular drum with a hardwood body and a membrane made of fish skin. For a lively sound, the skin is taut and nourished.
Djembe
Djembe, a West African goblet-shaped drum (approximately 60 cm high and 30 cm in diameter) hollowed out of solid wood and covered in stretched antelope or goat leather, with metal casing kesing plates to enhance the sound. It first appeared in the Malian Empire in the XII century and was dubbed the Healing Drum metaphorically. The open body form to inspire by a traditional grain crusher.
