Man that's how cars should work :)

I noticed, during the talk about who regulates the forest, the guy is totally without concept about cutting down the whole forest. "Because some trees you need, and some trees you don't need". Who would want to cut down trees you don't need ? Bushman's logic. .oO( besides I already told ya, that it's MANGO BUSH, that's the shit)Oo. I love it.

@RasAlun478 yes, if you are from Gambia, then I agree, the people there are very beautiful!! not only how they look, but also from inside. All the best to you, ilya.

[@ilyamagnes]

thanks for the info! I didn't know the "real" name of the tree. interesting. Hope you enjoyed the movie. ilya.

It appears that the African standards of a road worthy vehicle are not dissimilar to those in Australia. Namely, if you can't see the engine bay from the outside and the vehicle moves... its road worthy!

hello

[@MrAmisto]

It's also known as Dimba wood, which I am lucky enough to have a drum made from it. =)

That Renault reminds me of some cars I've owned. I love the hatch door hinges. The tree is Irvingia, a genus of African and Southeast Asian trees in the family Irvingiaceae, sometimes known by the common names wild mango, African mango, or bush mango. They bear edible mango-like fruits, and are especially valued for their fat- and protein-rich nuts. The trees yield a hard wood, useful in construction. (from Wikipedia) The genus is named for Dr Edward George Irving, a Royal Navy surgeon.[1

[@nated4599]

RasAlun478 they still have to get license to cut there trees down so they don't seem that free

[@ilyamagnes]

pais de grandes talentos mas poucos recursos

[@arijohn4138]

I actually searched this up xD

[@Zekla]

That 4:33 420 moment! lol

[@mattlehnardt8035]

damn, the one single tree they had for 50 miles cut down to make a drum.

[@KM-px8cs]

You're very ignorant.

[@joakimgranlund]

The boy at 2:29 looks like Michael Jordan!

[@mattlehnardt8035]

so where do I order one to support the village??

[@KM-px8cs]

If you want to help the communities research the "African Heartwood Project", these white people decided to take the money from the Djembes made in the villages and then they sell them in shops and online and send it back to the actual community and workers instead of keeping the money from a culture and craft that doesn't belong to them. Here is their website: www.africaheartwoodproject.org/about-us/

[@Drumconnection]

There are many people in America and in Europe and Japan and China who support the drum builders of Guinea and Mali and other West African djembe countries.

[@fredericdevouassoux3414]

Are there specific rituals associated with the manufacture of the djembe? Perhaps ancient rituals?

[@sierrachello]

what is the name of that tree?

[@gastonrepetto362]

Alguien sabe como se llama esa herramienta de talla que es una combinación entre hacha y gubia?

[@trinikid2368]

[@KM-px8cs]

For a video focused more on the actual crafting and artisans check out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJyada2BfJp9gq8 (There's two parts).

[@laksanabermain5964]

opo iki lek .. kui ndak nganu ?

[@mattlehnardt8035]

skip to 3:34 whre they start actually making the damn djembe.

[@KM-px8cs]

Blame the white documentary maker who would rather film his trespassing and village events instead of the drum making. Bored? There's other Djembe documentaries.

[@mattlehnardt8035]

africans will work a lot harder to make a drum than they will at a job.

[@KM-px8cs]

Get a life. Where's your job? Is it trolling on KZbin? Being an artisan is a job you fool.
