About
De Jimbe
De jimbe are a 7 piece group basing their music around traditional
Irish
music and the traditional drumming cultures of other countries
around the
Atlantic. They play traditional rhythms from the Caribbean
and West Africa
using djembes, congas, djoun djouns, talking drum, drum set,
etc. and mix
these rhythms with original and traditional Irish melodies
and traditional
Irish instruments. The fusion and tension between the pulsating,
hypnotic
rhythms and the intricate airs is what gives De jimbe their
original,
immediate and exciting sound.
