These hard woods are the most prized of all the djembe woods. Not because it necessarily sounds better than the others, but because it is supposed to have spiritual properties that make it superior. Lenke and Dimba are red-brown to orange in color which is among the more commonly used species of wood for djembes.

Also known as: Dimba
