WOW! The "Talking Drums" of Nigeria !!

[@johnindia555]

Yoruba culture is extremely beautiful

[@isalegangan6770]

I am Yoruba. We love this culture and can not be"bigged up" enough. 😊

[@lorawitzel9320]

Absolutely beautiful

[@legendariopr3897]

In Cuba they play the ancient Bata tradition from Yoruba revolutionaries from the Island and that tradition persist in al the Yoruba groups in the Caribbean. Their bata rhythm varies a lot to the current or modern one but there are a LOT of similarities

[@BattaBox]

Do you enjoy the music of traditional African drums??

[@dandamuxima]

I love it! Each rythm from each nation of Africa. Thank you

[@buzzedlunne6668]

[@taylorkamann21]

@0:41 African drums, baryta, goodugodu, lubudoom. I love it.

[@aircraftcarrierwo-class]

I'm fairly ignorant of African cultures in general so this look into the how, the why, and the fun put into these traditional drums has been very enlightening. Just look at these people. The music they make is energetic and upbeat and they're having such a great time playing it.

This is YORUBA CULTURE

[@amariewalenda3801]

Love it ASÈ too all, cant wait to go to afrika my mother OSUN💚🍯🌻 the drums speak to your soul

[@donwilliams8357]

Don't miss the magic!! Notice how the Yoruba interviewer could connect the tonal pattern of the galu dudu drum (@ 2:10+) to a phrase in his language. This is possible because the drummer is squeezing and releasing strings on the side of the drum and altering the tension of the drum head. It's how the amazing talking drum actually works!

[@Missrachela]

I LOVE TRADITIONAL AFRICAN DRUMS!

[@BattaBox]

Yes o Rachel A Do you also hear them speak?

[@FHIPrincePeter]

In Yoruba it was a signature of where a person comes from. Unfortunately as Nigeria adopts more western ways people opt for Paper or even digital records instead!

[@hcassells66]

They're tribal marks

[@josecolon5750]

@@hcassells66 this was a joke 3 years ago my guy.

[@BattaBox]

It’s a tribal mark; a means of identification

[@RadioAfrica1]

Hi Yoruba speakers! The drummer plays a proverb on the dundun -"diyu diyu la noli" - what does that mean? Thanks!

[@BigHandShake]

Didun didun la un l'oyin means Sweet, sweet, we taste the honey (poetry) or we taste the honey as something sweet (conversationally)

Was this is Lagos ?

[@BattaBox]

Yes, it is.

[@CrowdPleeza]

At 1:43 Why didn't that talking drum take root in Brazil and Cuba? Both countries received many Yoruba slaves. I've never seen Brazilians or Cubans with that particular drum. I wonder if it was because neither group continued to speak the Yoruba language in Brazil or Cuba? So there was no way to use a talking drum without it being applied to the Yoruba language?

[@BattaBox]

You’re taking us down history lane 🙌🏾

[@RustyJFunk]

Where can I buy a bata drum?

[@BattaBox]

You can visit any stores that sell costume. They should be able to fix you up with a bars drum

[@alicemako5729]

dont be insensitive. yoruba people can have tribal markings that are significant to our culture. it’s a precolonial aspect that is not nearly as popular anymore so it is beautiful to see he still has them and wears them beautifully.
