Gudugudu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gudugudu is a traditional drum used by the Yoruba ethnic group of Nigeria. It is a smaller, rounded, and melodic batá drum that is beaten with two thin and flexible "spatulas" made of a cow's hide or skin. In fact, this drum is so melodic and danceable that it perhaps does not need an accompaniment. It can be seen and experienced in today's sekere, fuji, apala and possibly juju.
