About De Jimbe
De jimbe are a 7 piece group basing their music around traditional Irish music and the traditional drumming cultures of other countries around the Atlantic. They play traditional rhythms from the Caribbean and West Africa using djembes, congas, djoun djouns, talking drum, drum set, etc. and mix these rhythms with original and traditional Irish melodies and traditional Irish instruments. The fusion and tension between the pulsating, hypnotic rhythms and the intricate airs is what gives De jimbe their original, immediate and exciting sound.

Our album is now available to buy on Amazon, EMusic and iTunes
