Sato, a royal and cultural display by Egun people in
south-western part of Nigeria. Drummers dance round the giant drum and
jump up to reach the drum. As they sing and dance around the drum, the
rattling shells tied around their feet add to the melody of the
music. They are surrounded by spectators who equally sing along to
grace the occasion. |
