Djembe has its origins in West Africa, particularly in Mali, Guinea, and Ivory Coast. The drum was traditionally played during ceremonial occasions, such as weddings, funerals, and initiation rites. Djembe was also used to communicate important messages across long distances, as the drum's sound could be heard from miles away.
