Concentracion del Djembe at Las Teresitas
According to the Bamana people in Mali (via Wikipedia), the name of the djembe comes directly from the saying "Anke dje, anke be" which literally translates to "everyone gather together" and that is exactly what the organizers are attempting at the 1ª Concentracion del Djembe - Las Teresitas (1st Djembe Gathering) being held at the Las Teresitas beach, near Tenerife's capital, Santa Cruz tomorrow, Saturday, July 19th.
Notices promoting the event say that, "We're trying to unite the largest number of djembe players in history."
Or, you could say they intend to *beat* a record using the rhythm method. (Well, you could say that, except you'd be justifiably shot for crimes involving too many lame puns.)
It also says that it doesn't matter if you don't have a djembe (easily fixed, as there are an unlimited number of people willing to sell you one), you can bring along any other percussion instrument. Just be there, from 8 p.m., to pass the evening with music and perfect diversion (the leaves may give a clue. :)
