SABAR
Known as the Royal Drums of Senegal, djembes
may be played all over Africa, but the Sabar is exclusive
to the Wolof people of Senegal.
It can often be seen played at football games involving the
Senegalese national side, as happened during the World cup
2002.
The Sabar is played asymmetrically - with one hand and one
stick. And a variety of strokes are used.

Sabar Ensemble
there are seven drums in the Sabar family.
Each is tuned with seven pegs and rope. Which sets them apart
from most peg-tuned drums. Each Sabar has its own name, and
it's own sound - and all together they form the Sabar ensemble.
Sabar are made from Dimba wood - which is very dense,
dark and hard. They are headed with goatskin.
The Sabar should be tuned for playing only, and then untuned
afterward. This is done by hammering the pegs in, and then
pulling them loose afterward.
Mbalax is a rhythm family that forms the foundation
for most Senegalese music, like Baaba Maal and Youssou N'Dour.
It is found throughout traditional Senegalese music, and permeates
their modern music too.
Listen to the album Diabote by Doudou N'diaye Rose
to hear traditional sabar drumming. |
