African Hand Drums to Promote Movie, The Visitor, to Be Provided
by World Wide Drums, LLC
BURNSVILLE, Minn. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) November 17, 2008 --
World
Wide Drums, LLC was selected by Overture Films to supply more than
1100 djembe
African hand drums to be used to publicize the movie, The Visitor.
World Wide Drums was selected by Overture because of its reputation as a
distributor of quality African drums and its ability to provide the
large quantity of handmade djembe drums required within a relatively
short period of time.
“We have strong relationships with excellent craftspeople around the
world. Those relationships have enabled us to work with companies like
Overture Films and support the growing popularity of African drumming in
the United States and elsewhere,” said Nick Zwack, Owner, World Wide
Drums.
In the movie, The Visitor, music plays an important role. Two of
the main characters connect over a djembe drum. The djembe drum, pronounced
jembe, is a goblet shaped hand drum that is a popular African
percussion instrument. African drumming is gaining in popularity in
school curriculums, drum circles and healing institutions.
“World Wide Drums, LLC provided the finely crafted djembe drums that we
will be sending out to various people in the movie industry as we
promote the film,” said a spokesperson for Overture Films.
