Sabar Drum

The Sabar Drum is a single-headed percussion instrument traditionally played with one hand and one stick by Wolof griot percussionists of Senegal. Renowned for its distinctive sound, the Sabar not only names the drum itself but also the accompanying dance and the social event where both are performed. This drum embodies a rich cultural heritage, delivering sharp, expressive rhythms essential for authentic West African musical storytelling and ceremonial expression.
