African Drumming Waikato

Introducing the Lolojan - a hand carved Ghana drum that's a hybrid between a Kpanlogo & Conga but uses a rope tuning system like a djembe. Topped with a medium thick cow skin, it oozes warmth in the tone, and we have cranked it up for some pop ... cuts through all the djembe racket!

"Awosu" is an ULTRA light weight 4.8kg - amazing for an African djembe! 🙌
