MY ÀLÍMỌ̀ṢỌ́ ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

I am shining my starlight in my little corner but people are watching and listening.

On Saturday, November 18, 2023, another feather was added to my cap because of my contribution to my local Local Government Area of Àlímòṣọ́, the Yorùbá Community and the Nigerian Culture and Tourism Industry.

I love what I do and plan to do more ̣until death do us part. ÀLÍMỌ̀ṢỌ́

ÀYÀN ÀGALÚ IS DRUMMING A NEW WORLD

DJ Ìràwọ̀

ART Exhibition Statement

For many years it was believed that women in the Yorùbá kingdom were banned from playing the Dùndún talking drums; a taboo!

This is untrue.

The truth is that the women were occupied with activities that diverted their attention away from playing the drums such as falling ill from the pain of their menstruation cycle, getting married, getting pregnant, childbirth, rearing children, house chores, caring for their husbands, societal responsibilities and running a business.

There was even a woman whose name was Àyàn Àgalú. She designed, built and taught the men how to play the Dùndún talking drums with the wisdom of Ifá.

Below are pictures
