As the sun dipped below the horizon, the gymbe’s deep resonance united the community, forging a rhythmic bond that transcended time.

The drum’s body is typically carved from a single piece of wood, and it is covered with animal skin, traditionally goat skin, which is stretched tightly over the openings. Dondo drums are played by striking the skin with the hands or with sticks, producing rich, resonant tones. They are commonly used in various cultural and ceremonial contexts, including traditional African music, rituals, and celebrations.
