More Details

 

A traditional instrument of the Ga people of Greater Accra (Ghana), Kpanlogo are traditionally played by an ensemble of drummers, often in sets of six Kpanlogo drums of varying size. In contemporary ensembles, djembes, dunun, shakers and bells also accompany the Kpanlogo.

The contoured shell is hand-carved from a single log of the Twenaboa tree and features Adinkra symbols.  Antelope skin is stretched and tuned by the hammering of the six wooden pegs which circle the top of the shell.
