About OpenSlap

In times of yore, esteemed priests would conduct rituals by striking the Djembe, generating a melodious resonance that encompassed the "Bass," "Open," and "Slap" notes. These terms represent distinct temporal realms, symbolising the past, present, and future. With deft artistry, the priests seamlessly blended these three timelines, extolling the passage of generations.

OpenSlap embodies the fusion of the present and the future, where the present covers the future, serving as a nexus where the known and the unknown collide.

Experience the harmonious interplay of tradition and novelty, encapsulating the essence of both traditions and innovation.
