This book is essential for every djembe player, student, and enthusiast because it explores the rise of djembe music on the international stage, addressing various topical issues related to the instrument's growing popularity.
Djembe therapy arises from the connection individuals establish with the djembe, fostering employment opportunities, promoting bonding among people from diverse backgrounds, and enhancing the psychological well-being of its practitioners. This form of therapy introduces a "new role" for the djembe that differs from its traditional function in rural Africa. In the Netherlands, this new role is shaped and supported by the acculturation strategies employed by djembe musicians within Dutch society. While this book discusses djembe music, it is not an instructional guide. This book focuses on the role of djembe music in the Netherlands, emphasising how West African djembe drumming has taken on a 'new role' and how musicians are contributing to the Dutch/European music scene and intercultural life. The book documents the presence and contributions of West African djembe musicians in Europe, with a specific focus on the Netherlands. It provides a platform for these musicians to share their perspectives on life abroad. Finally, it offers insight to Western audiences and the government regarding the struggles, successes, and aspirations of djembe musicians.
