Product Description

Feel the rhythm of Africa with this Large Dono Drum.

The Dono drum is the authentic ancient talking drum of West Africa. This musical instrument can be found in every country in West Africa. Ancient Africans used this drum to send messages over far distances. It's used in modern times at musical as well as cultural festivals. The piece is completely hand-made by the people of Ghana.

The Story Behind the Product

Nana was born to a family of 9 children in the town of Kumasi in Ghana, West Africa. His parents divorced when he was only 8 years old and Nana became so rebellious that his mother sent him to live with his father in Tamale (in the Northern region of Ghana) when Nana was 12 years old. It was there that he developed an interest in art. He dropped out of school when he was 14 and started training with a master carver in Tamale. In 2000 Nana began selling his products through Worldstock. Nana is now married with 3 children and lives in Accra, Ghana. He is now a master carver with his own shop and 10 employees. Nana?s life has been so improved since he began working with Worldstock that he named his son after his contact at Overtsock.com.

Lg Dono Drum (slurner, Lenoir City, TN, 2008-01-08)

I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the drum I bought my son as a gift. I had seen the same drum at an import store for twice the price. By minipulating the strings it changes the tone,and is not only decorative but functional as well. It arrived packaged very well, and was shipped quickly for such a busy season. I would recommend it to highly and am pleased that my gift was a hit. Thanks Overstock!
