“Inspired by her love for African culture and heritage, Aralola Olumuyiwa gave herself early enough to an ageless pillar of traditional African orchestra— the talking drum.
“The Talking Drum is unique to Yoruba of Nigeria’s South-West.This powerful instrument defines Ara’s artistic presence and premium reign in Nigeria’s entertainment industry.”
Of dexterous skill and captivating stage attitude, Ara leads a talented orchestra to create pulses of exceptionally entertaining African symphony that once accentuated pristine Yoruba existence.
Her success at being able to fuse traditional beats with modern rhythms has led her to holding studio and theatre performances with such world greats, as Stevie Wonder and Usher Raymond.
