This drum belongs to the Baga culture. The Baga are a population living on the coast of Guinea in West Africa. They are well-known for their cultural artifacts created under the influence of their animist faith. The animist religion was their traditional religion which then changed to Islam during the mid-eighteenth century. After indipendence, due to a demystification program, many precious Baga cultural artifacts were detroyed.
