Djembe Drum Circle

An African musical instrument, search the Internet and find that this djembe drum circle video is one of the greatest displays of percussion out there. It is remarkable that the group seems to be comprised primarily of individuals of European descent, as this just goes to show how true it is, the language of music is absolutely Universal.

HAPI Music

By no means am I any kind of master with the HAPI in my hands, but I sure can have some fun with it!  This blog is dedicated to unique music worldwide and features many musicians playing their unusual and amazing instruments, this video is one of mine. 

I’m always critical of my own perfomance, so I’d say I start a bit slow here, but take it somewhere by the end. So hopefully you can sit back and enjoy this video better than I can…

As a matter of fact, HAPI stands for Hand Activated Percussion Instrument. It is one of several melodic percussion instruments created in recent years, and is inspired by the much more elusive hang drum.

After the video, Click Here and see another tongue drum in action.
