This is another beautiful traditional wedding. As a prelude, I included
the montage of a drummer beating his talking drum. In most Yoruba Traditional
Weddings, you will see several drummers beating their talking drums. It is
called a talking drum because the pitch can be regulated to mimic the tone of
human speech. Only skilled players can play melodies like the one in the video.
There is a strong meaning behind the lyrics of the song I used for Bola and
Femi’s Yoruba Traditional Wedding. “Ololufe Mi” means my lover in Yoruba Language.
In the song, the lady is telling the partner that “I am enjoying you” and that
she is basking in his affection. A popular Yoruba adage is reiterated in the
song and when translated, it means “when a snail draws, its shell will follow”.
In essence, lovers cannot be separated just like a snail cannot be separated
from its shell. The song is so beautiful and I hope you enjoy the video.
