Summary

The jembe drum is one of the most popular percussion instruments in the world. This book will explore African drumming and dance before the jembe drum arrived in America. Drummers, dancers, and enthusiasts who experienced the beginning of jembe music in America provided insight on how the jembe fueled a revolution. The energy of this book encouraged Jembefolas to reveal secret information they had never shared before. The author passionately aims for readers to recognize the African American pioneers who helped to spread the jembe revolution.

Jembe Revolution is the first to congregate so many different voices in one publication to tell this story. This book will spark dialogue and open the way for more projects on the subject of the jembe drum.
