MY LOVE FOR AFRICAN CULTURE; A TALE TO TELL VIA MY PHOTOGRAPHS, A PICTURE TO NOTE.

Having chosen to be a writer, photographer and a lover of music, I looked inwardly and outwardly, then, I concluded that both orature and writen literature would not be the best to express my imaginations of art but my images can communicate,disseminate and unleash distinct and powerful meanings to its viewers. Not because I take pictures like a secular photographers but because I create images like a photo creator who imbibe in depth meaning from nature into arts of writing and then bring it out in a visual form that all that see it may identify the content been conveyed in it (my photographs) thereof.

The above picture shows the awesomeness of African's culture in its music, drum and dance.
The African style of music, drum and dance tend to be so magnificent with the ancient and modern value which make it interesting to write about.

Following the type of African music, ranging from asiko, a music style in Cameroon, bongo flava in Tanzania, Cabo-love in Cape verde, afrobeat in Nigeria to our dance in which we have adowa from Ghana, agwara from Uganda, gombey in Senegal, kakilambe from Guinea and Mali atilogwu in Nigeria, Ndombolo from the Republic of Congo while in the aspect of drums, we have various types, sounds and sizes examples are talking drum, bougarabou and djembe ngoma drums, rrattles and shakers such as kosika, ram stick, bells etc.

All the three that are used to illustrate Africans' culture in this writeup can be seen in the above picture which in visual look depict the Africans culture in music, drum and dance.
