Yoruba Drums From Benin, West Africa[África/Percusión]

Benin, West Africa is the home to several Yoruba religious cults based on a pantheon of gods. Overlapping rhythms embedded with symbolic religious meanings are played by a variety of drum ensembles including cylindrical bata drums, hourglass-shaped dundun talking drums, and the tall gelede drums.

Los ambores Bata son los tambores sagrados del rey-dios Shangó, y se utilizan en la música ceremonial de los Orishas en la santería afrocubana, así como en Yoruba (actualmente en su mayoría de Nigeria) para alabar a los dioses y a sus anepasados
