Yoruba Music
Yoruba music is the pattern/style of music practiced by the Yoruba people of Nigeria, Togo, and Benin. It is perhaps best known for its extremely advanced drumming tradition and techniques, especially using the gongon hourglass shape tension drums.

A major feature that sets them apart from other groups in Nigeria is their accomplishment in the arts and entertainment industry, especially in music.
