Description
There are several Nigerian Instruments for music, several of which are locally made and operated mostly by Nigerians who are very good at playing them.
Many of the instruments which originated from Nigeria are already gaining wide and international acceptance, they are already being used all over the world for music... like the Talking drum.
In Africa, drums hold a deeper, symbolic and historical significance. They herald political and social events attending ceremonies of birth, death and marriage. They spark courtships, they herald home-coming and going and they accompany religious rites and rituals, calling up ancestral spirits.
They are used as an alarm or a call to arms stirring up emotions for battle and war. They can also inspire passion and excitement and even cause trances, a momentary loss of consciousness to either the drummer or the listener. They symbolize and protect royalty and are often housed in sacred dwellings. They are protected during battle.
