African Bells
Discover the vibrant pulse of West Africa with a curated collection of authentic African bells. From the bright, singing tones of Yoruba-style agogo to the deep, grounding voice of Ewe gankogui (double bell) and the compact, expressive atoke “banana” bell of Ghana, each piece is artisan-made to deliver crisp attack, rich overtones, and exceptional projection. Hand-forged in iron or brass with durable handles and traditional finishes, these bells are the timekeepers of drum ensembles-perfect for locking in polyrhythms, leading call-and-response, and cutting clearly through djembe and dunun textures.
Ideal for percussionists, educators, and worship leaders, African bells shine in drum circles, classroom settings, Afrobeat and highlife bands, studio layering, and live performance. Choose from single or double bells, varied sizes, and distinct pitch ranges to complement your setup. Each listing includes tonal character and size details to help you find the right voice-whether you need a bright, articulate accent or a bold, resonant centerpiece for your rhythm section.
