You Can’t Beat Olatunji, so Join Him

We end this week’s deep dive into Nigeria with Babatunde Olatunji, whose “Drums of Passion” brought African rhythmic drumming to an international audience for decades.

Babatunde Olatunji traveled the world as an ambassador for the powerful music of his native Nigeria, inspiring generations of percussionists. One of his most-widely known songs is his performance of “Akiwowo.”

We had grand fun in Nigeria. Next week we head to Central Africa where we meet two Congos.
