A djembe is an African hand drum which translated means "everyone come together". And it also happens to be what my parents thought I'd most like for my 25th birthday, which in their own way, they were right. I don't much play it as much as I pat it rhythmically. It helps me network this difficult Los Angeles landscape. Just last week I played it in a circle of sweaty bums and drug addled tweakers. They had no business cards but I'm quite sure if I venture towards the boardwalk, I can find their offices under a palm tree.
