Yoruba Music

This genre is not on air yet.

The music of the Yoruba people of Nigeria and Benin: talking-drum ensembles, praise singing and the Islamic-inflected social musics of Lagos and Ibadan that became apala, fuji and jùjú. Tonal language shapes the melodies, and the dundun drum literally speaks.

Beneath it: apala, fuji, jùjú

Beside it: afrobeat
