We carry great sounding kenkeni
made here in our shop in
Charlotte, NC, as well as
imported kenkeni from Guinea
and the Ivory Coast. We
specialize in custom drums and
custom designs so throw your
idea at us and we'll work up a
quote.
-The kenkeni is the smallest
of the three and has a higher
pitch; it is used mainly to
keep time. 9.5 x 20"
Bolokada Conde (Djembefola
from Conakry, Guinea) has said
that the doundounba is the
power, the kenkeni is the
information, and the sangban
ties/knits them together.
