"Much of what is known about African drumming has been transmitted through the oral traditions.

One popular belief is that the #Numu, or #blacksmiths, of the #Malinke of Guinea were the first to carve a djembe and originally played the drum only during the smelting of iron ore. Another story tells of a woman who broke through the bottom of an old mortar as she was pounding millet and had the ingenuity to mount a skin on it."
