Bembe may refer to:
This is a list of membranophones used in the Caribbean music area, including the islands of the Caribbean Sea, as well as the musics of Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, Belize, Garifuna music, and Bermuda. It only includes membranophones that are indigenous to the local music area or are a vital and long-standing part of local culture. It does not include membranophones that are, for example, a part of Western style orchestras, nor does it include trap sets and other common membranophones used in popular music recordings of many genres across the world. Almost all membranophones are drums and percussion instruments.
The Hornbostel-Sachs number is given after each instrument.
The Bembe are an ethnic and linguistic group based in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo and western Tanzania. In 1991 the Bembe population of the DRC was estimated to number 252,000, with no estimate available for the number of Bembe in Tanzania
The Bembe (Babembe, Beembe, Cuabembe, Wabembe) originate from northeast of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and western Tanzania. They are representative of numerous ethnic traditions including Lega, pre-Lega, Boyo-Kunda, and Bemba. They are a tough and proud people who absorbed other populations and their systems of thought in the process of carving out their current homeland in a time of widespread conflict and under economic pressure from European invaders and slave traders during the 19th century.
The Bembe in Congo-Brazzaville number 60 to 80,000, mostly living on the plateaus situated to the north of the Congo River, as well as on the shores of Stanley Pool and in the cities of Brazzaville, Dolisie, and Pointe-Noire. The Bembe traditionally had close contacts with their neighbors the Teke, but influence from the Kongo Kingdom was essential to their culture and traditions. In Tanzania, some of the Bembe people have become a part of Manyema, and Swahili people due to culture and language loss. Originally natives of Kigoma region, the Bembe people of Tanzania have stretched throughout the country from their home land of Kigoma to the island of Zanzibar.
Taas sanottu on liikaa:
Se kaikki paha, mikä kasvaa
Sun mahanpohjassa
Ja kai sydämessä sittenkin.
Oot niskan päällä melkein,
Ja onnistujan elkein
Varaat huoneen hotelliin -
Meet yöksi muka sinne niin.
Henkilökohtaisesti oot Kristus itsellesi,
Muut saavat armahdustasi odottaa,
Ja sinä, Henkilökohtaisesti,
Ainoa sanelija,
Pääroolissa niin monen muun elämän.
Sä kavereita vaivaat,
Kun tunnustaisit taivaat:
Mitä tuli sanottua:
"Sika! " ja
"Mä inhoon sua".
Nyt sopisi jo soittaa;
Riitely oli turhaa.
Heti haluaisit taas
Ne lapset ja sen puutarhan.
Ja vielä hän
Viimein kaikkeen ryytyy.
Joku muu erehtyy,
Ja jossain ihastuu.
Löydät uuden uhrin, ruususuu,
