Customer Reviews

Not my favorite Djembe CD, but has some good tracks.
Please see my reviews for Mamady Kieta's "African Drums" and "Moudou Djembe" ( French "Air Mail" series). These are CDs that you can play along to without having to bother to change tracks. I can't say the same thing for this CD, although it does have some old standard rhythms, such as Dundunba. This and other pieces are common at drum circles. There are several tracks I like very much. It is still a good CD to have in an African rhythm collection, especially since very little of the native music culture has been recorded and sold on the popular music market.

AIR MAIL SPECIAL
"AIR MAIL MUSIC" IS A FRENCH LABEL THAT HAS A SERIES OF CD RELEASES OF NATIVE ABORIGNAL MUSIC FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD. I HAVE A FEW OF THEM. AND THIS IS GOOD ONE, IT FEATURES AUTHENTIC NATIVE AFRICAN DRUM (DJEMBE) MUSIC, WITH OTHER TYPES OF PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS LIKE THE IKEMBE (FINGER PIANO). UNLIKE THE OTHER REVIEWERS, I DO NOT PLAY THE DRUMS OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF PERCUSSION INSTRUMENT (ALTHOUGH I AM A MUSICIAN), I JUST HAVE A HEALTHY INTEREST IN DIFFERENT KINDS OF WORLD MUSIC. THESE ARE AUTHENTIC SOUNDS, IF YOU WANT TO HEAR THE REAL SOUNDS OF AFRICA, THIS IS A GREAT CD TO LISTEN TO. 100% PERCUSSION, NOTHING MORE.

Air Mail Music: Dlembe and African Drums
Great for djembe practice.
