Guinea dundun drum - Melina (beechwood) kenkeni

Guinea kenkeni

This Guinea kenkeni drum is a dunun bass drum declined through two types of mounting: traditional sewing mouting or 4 irons mounting. In the dunun bass drums family, the kenkeni plays at the highest pitch and is generally used as a metronome in simple rhythms. Each Guinea kenkeni drum is conceived in the purest tradition of the Guinean craftsmen who combine expertise and traditional skills.
