Description

The inspiration of the painting is from an African tribe in Nigeria, Benin, Ghana and Togo (Yoruba).

The word “Ayan” means drummer in the Yoruba language. This painting portrays a man in his Agbada (a loose-fitting robe worn by men in Nigeria) playing the gangan and dancing along to the beat. The drum (gangan) is played with a curved stick (included) and worn over one shoulder with a traditional leather strap. These drums produce amazingly rich tones; their pitch shifts dramatically when squeezed, in order to replicate the human voice.

Several Yoruba men are gifted at playing drums. They use these drums during different ceremonies.

They are played in times of peace and war, planting and harvesting, birth and death. Drums have been such a large part of Africans’ cultural experience for a long time.

This talking drum is used for many purposes. The talking drum is used in ceremonial functions and events like weddings, e.t.c. It is commonly used by African bands as part of their musical instruments.

Drums are inseparable from the African culture because they help define it.

Native Wrestlers

$160.00
Traditional wrestling, also known as “Laamb” in Wolof, is a centuries-old sport in Sénégal. In terms of form, it is very similar to the Greco-Roman style of wrestling; however, it is very typical of traditional, African wrestling. There are two forms of Laamb: the first allows the wrestlers to strike each other with their bare hands, which can be painful; the second is more acrobatic, and hitting is not permitted. When a wrestler’s back touches the ground, the bout is over; he has lost. Laamb is as much a spiritual activity as it is physical; and wrestlers engage in various rites and rituals preparatory to fighting. No wrestler, regardless of his strength, physical, or technical abilities, will ever dare to enter the ring, much less fight, without his “marabout” or without participating in his own pre-match ceremony. During the ceremony, the wrestler, accompanied by drummers and singers, dances around the arena; around his arms, legs, and waist are various kinds of esoteric pendants or amulets the purpose of which is to protect him against evil spirits and the witchcraft of other fighters. It is this aspect of the sport which elevates a wrestling match beyond the level of ordinary spectator sport. Many people attend as much for the enjoyment of the ceremony as for the sport.
