Original African Talking Drum from Nigeria with Wooden Beater - Ilu Gan Gan

This authentic Ilu Gan Gan is a traditional African talking drum crafted by skilled artisans in Nigeria. Made from durable hardwood and high-quality animal hide, it features tension cords that allow the player to modulate pitch by squeezing the drum under the arm while striking it with a curved wooden beater. Revered in Yoruba culture, the talking drum is used not just for music, but also for communication, storytelling, praise singing, and ceremonial rituals. Its rich, resonant tones can mimic the human voice, making it a powerful instrument for both solo and ensemble performances. Ideal for musicians, collectors, educators, and anyone passionate about African heritage and percussion.
