Young Bata drummer Ensemble (Oke Ogun-Oyo)


 
   

This is a short clip of some young Bata drummers, children from a long long lineage of Ayan drummers from the area to the north of Oyo town & Ogbomoso towns, which is the traditional and cultural heart of the Yoruba of Nigeria. Bata is also worshipped like any other Deity of the Yoruba people, and can speak like a human, people accustomed to the traditional Yoruba language can decipher the words that the Oni-Ilu (person drumming) is saying and will often sing along to the words of the drum, Bata is also closely related to the Orisa Sango and to Egungun society.The highly developed artistic forms of the Yoruba people has many things to showcase to the world. These drummers are around 6-8 years of age and have been drumming several years under their mentor.

I hope the answer still serve its purpose. Yoruba women traditionally are submissive to the men eventho their voices were not heard they actually are the brains behind most home affairs. They are now educated, self independent,lucrative audacious to assume roles dominated as mens' role. Some still have the old fashion idea that a woman's place is in the kitchen to be seen and not heard. Yoruba people of today accept womens role in the society with fairness and respect same as they do men.
