Goombay is a form of Bahamian music and a drum used to create it. The goombay drum is a membranophone with one goat skin head held between the legs and played with the hands or sticks. The goombay name has also evolved to become synonymous with local African-American music related to calypso. In Bahamas, its most famous practitioner in modern times was Alphonso 'Blind Blake' Higgs, who performed at the Nassau International Airport for many years.〔Kaliss, Jeff.

''Goombay'' is also an alternate spelling for the ''gumbe'', a Jamaican drum (''see Music of Jamaica and List of Caribbean drums''). == Discography == ''Bahamas Goombay 1951 - 1959'' (Frémeaux et Associés FA5302, 2011) 〔()〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「goombay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
