>The traditional Djembe drum is a skin covered with rope tuned that originated from Mali, West Africa.
>Djembe drum are played with bare hands and it can produce kind of sounds. It is very loud and some use it as a solo drum instrument over other percussion ensembles. By the expertise players, they can make the djembe talking

This isn't just any ordinary drum; it's called a djembe and it originates from Mali. Did you know the players of this drum use three basic sounds? Read @nickychu's post to see what those three are.

>When I think Mango, I am thinking of my friend Jim. He just passed away last month at the age of 85, but did this man love Mangos!!! He was one of the founders of the California Rare Fruit growers and in the days before the internet and the easy access worldwide to just about anything the heart desires - including plants, he traveled the world to learn how to grow varieties and fruit that are not known in this part of the world

Not only does @mariannewest show us the ins-and-outs of the mango fruit, but she shares a personal side of her life as well as paying tribute to a dear friend she lost from her life recently.

>Over the years I have been asked to find that special tune for people when they take that walk down the aisle.
>Sometimes its just for the dance floor, wanting the tunes to be something different that others wont really know of , all referring to the couples story or telling a story through the music 

What music did you have playing at your wedding? What was the first song you and your new spouse danced to? 
@fates is often sharing some great music for future newlyweds; so come on over to see what she is offering up for some nuptials.

## Introducing Referral Bonuses! 

<br>

Dear Qurites,

We know times are tough now and we all have to push a little bit harder. We came up with two programs that will help you earn some extra upvotes and visibility from Qurator, and will also help Qurator to reach more Steemians/your friends that need some extra help. 
<br>
## <center>**Write a post about Qurator.**</center>

<br>


Our long time members know how it all works. You have been with us through thick and thin. 

Share your experience with your friends and followers. We would love to know how our members see Qurator and what they like (or don't) the most about the project. 
Feel free to write in your own native language. We are open to all languages and have already translated our main Qurator post to several languages.
Well written posts will receive some extra upvote love from Qurator and a resteem. :) Feel free to drop your post link in our Daily Qurator comment section, so we don't miss it. 
<br>
## <center>**Invite a friend.**</center>

<br>


Do you know someone who is starting out? Or maybe someone who is posting great posts for a while but still need more exposure? Refer Qurator to your friend and after they get approved and become a member you will also receive a bonus 1SBD upvote on your most recent posts.

There are two ways to do it and this is how it works:

||<center>Option 1 - Referrals</center> |<center>Option2 - Sponsorship</center>|
|-|-|-|
|1|You refer a friend to Qurator| You sponsor a membership to your friend |
|2|Your friend sends registration fee to Qurator and mentions your name in the memo: `referred by @your_steemit_username`|You send registration fee to @qurator with your the person's name in memo: `@your_friends_username`|
|3|Our team reviews the account|Our team reviews the account|
|4|Your friend is approved - you receive a 1SBD upvote|Your friend is approved - you receive 1SBD upvote|



Keep in mind that all registration rules still apply and all account will be reviewed by our team. You can read about content requirements in [THIS](https://steemit.com/qurator/@qurator/qurator-3-0-update-post-guidelines-or-registration-details-or-tier-changes) post. 





*Note: Both programs are open to everyone, not only Qurator members.*

# Steemauto Curation Trail

<br>

|  |  |
| -- | -- |
|https://steemitstageimages.com/DQmRviZWBhhxeNa6TSQKpSitHj3XHmGC24WUxn9uUVTWCG6/steemauto.png| The new curation trail is active and running! If you would like to support your fellow Qurites or just earn some extra curation feel free to join our curation trail that is active on Steemauto. <br>[Steemauto guide and registration info](https://steemit.com/guide/@scrooger/steemauto-full-guide-and-how-to-register)|

We suggest not following the trail with 100%, steemauto has 2 ways of following a trail, static or scaled. We suggest using **SCALED** instead of static since static votes can add up quickly and drain VP very fast. We suggest using scaled and then maybe around 25%.

**Steemauto** can show us who is currently on the trail and at what percentage. Looking forward to see more Qurites joining the trail in the near future! We also reward the team players and there might be a nice surprise for a lucky trailer. =P
