- Join us on a journey to the heart of West Africa, where the ancient tradition of talking drum making is still alive and well. Watch as skilled artisans use locally sourced materials to handcraft these unique drums, each one with its own distinct sound. From selecting the perfect wood for the drum's body, to stretching and tuning the skin, every step is done with care and precision. See also how this musical drum is finished off with the skin of a goat as drum membrane, adding to its beauty and cultural significance. This is not just a mere instrument but a cultural heritage passed down for generations. This video is an absolute must-watch for anyone interested in the rich history and tradition of African music and the craftsmanship that goes into creating these beautiful instruments."

Great video, however this is not the traditional way of shaping the wood of the drum... Nice video though.
You’re right! The drum body used to be hand carved. There are still a few places that do it the traditional way. Thank you for stopping by :)
@@tmaplus my point exactly… If the video showed the trajectory from traditional drum carving to using a "modernized" way of achieving slightly the same result, it would have added to the story of the instrument and and its people… The Yoruba in this case.
Thanks again. Aché Modupé oh!
@@inovartesmedialdainovartes2041obviously the makers of the video wanted to show the semi-industrialized method of making the drums since these mass-made drums are the ones being used by most talking drums players nowadays. As much as y’all want a mystical and fetishize-able Africa, actual African are living in the modern day with you (omg shocking -note sarcasm) and also require mass produced products like everyone else.
You can find another video to satisfy your craving for magical Africans with ancient knowledge, who you can look at like zoo animals and collect ancestral lore from.
@@mychannel-rt2gn it's obvious that you're not a drummer or even respect the art of craft making.
