Why not just enjoy the music? Who cares if those guys are 100%, 75% or even 0% Fulani? I don't want to know if the Yoruba "borrowed" some instruments somewhere or vice-versa as long as i can enjoy nice african music. "Always take the wheather with u...."
@ish1986ful What is Yoruba in this music? Both the talking drum and shantu musical instruments are Hausa. So call it Hausa/Fulani. The Yoruba got the talking drum from the Hausa people, it was not original to them.
I would appreciate it if someone is willing to translate the whole song 😅 I only understood the jist after asking but not the literal meaning of everything
@ssodangi WOW!!!!, What a wide generalization!!! If the Malinke or Wolof wore long flowing gowns, does it means they borrowed from the from Hausa , just because Hausa are known to wear the same type of clothing?? Its not like I am Yoruba or anything, but I HATE it when ethnic pride gets in the way oof Commonsenseical arguement...... If the Yoruba borrowed the Talking drun, then how come they are more versatile in using it, and have various name for it??
@ssodangi That is a LIE, The Yoruba didnt ''borrow'' the Talking drum from Hausa or Fulani. What about the Male dressing style in the video?? It is distinctly Yoruba.
@Zamzaki1 Why do u think Yoruba r more vesatile in Using the talking drum? Check out traditional Yoruba music as popularised by people like Haruna Ishola and u will find it very much Hausa! I don't know what the Yoruba call the talking drum but I know of one they call GANGAN which again is a derivative of the Hausa original version GANGA. Ethinc pride or not, the yoruba r the greatest beneficiaries of Hausa indigineous civilisation in the whole of southern Nigeria and it is a fact not pride.
Gidado I wish I knew it but sorry can’t help and I am curious on what they saying am pretty sure it not something bad because Luke Bryan and I believe that most people are good.
@Zamzaki1 Hahaha! The Yoruba borrowed over 60% of their so called "yoruba culture" from Hausa/Fulani. The "Yoruba cap" these male dancers have on their heads is originally Hausa/Fulani in indigo color, worn only by court jesters in our kings palaces and clowns in our city streets! Look at the clownish manner in which they dance, complete clowns in their regalia! Note that 100% of Yoruba dressing, musical instruments, song styles were a derivative of the Hausa/Fulani original versions.
