The Balafon is an African percussion from the xylophone family. Wooden percussion played using hard mallets, the balafon is generally made up of 8 to 30 blades, depending on the model. This traditional African xylophone is composed of a support (frame) in wood or bamboo on which are arranged and fixed wooden blades above gourds serving as a sound box. The Balafon is often tuned in a pentatonic or heptatonic scale, but its evolution and adaptations in certain musical contexts lead manufacturers to create new scales. All the Balafons sold by Djoliba are quality musical instruments, selected by our team from renowned craftsmen such as the house "Baragnouma".
