Her talking drum
Aralola Olamuyiwa, known as Ara, means mystery in her native Yoruba language plays the ‘talking drum’, a traditional instrument that was once reserved for men. On stage, she is outgoing, ever-present, singing and playing her special drum as dancers and acrobats contribute to the impressive show that is as much a celebration of Africa, as it is an ‘Ara’ performance.
