NEW! Jina Konkonis - $320 + $79 Shipping/Handling

AVAILABLE! $320

The traditional wooden (lenge) konkoni.  Perfectly measured for a balanced sound.  This is the first dunun that started it all.  Excellent portability and can provide the bass and foundation for working with traditional djembe soloing patterns.  All konkonis are of the same quality as the photo above.  There is not enough difference between konkoni to warrant posting a separate photo of each konkoni.  Konkoni will be headed up with fresh goat skin and professional black climbing rope imported from Europe upon purchase (before shipped).  Each konkoni ships with 4 special lightweight konkoni sticks (konkoni kala).

Konkonis are similar to the guinean sangban except that they have their skin sewn on to each end with rope instead of iron rings.  Also, goat skin is used instead of cow.  This makes the konkoni very easy to play with its own lightweight konkoni sticks and gives a very warm and pleasant bass sound that is an perfect compliment to students who like the ancient more traditional style of djembe playing.

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

More Jina's coming soon...If you would like to place a custom order or reserve a jina djembe 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 headed up are coming soon.  If you are interested in reserving this drum please email be at rootsyrecords@yahoo.com.  It will probably sell quickly.
