Street drummers in Lagos, Nigeria 1 of 3

NOTE - volume kicks up after 35 seconds! I was at a wedding last October when I happened on these great drummers. Luckily, I had my camera in the car and the rest is history. Disclaimer, I'm not who they claim I am - not a prince. The driver kept telling them otherwise. What amazing energy and artistry!! Edited on Linux with Cinelerra.

I was at a wedding in Lekki - Lagos and these great artists were there. This took place last October. It was at a big restaurant with the large swimming pool after Chevron, et al. after the first round about on the left. Sorry thats all I remember.

Much culture respect here too.
