Categorisation of Nigerian Talking drum performances

DOI

The recordings of Yorùbá traditional music that were previously available here are no longer accessible. This decision reflects a commitment to honouring Yorùbá cultural protocols, the intentions of the artists, and the values of the communities who safeguard these traditions. Yorùbá music carries spiritual, social, and cultural meanings that extend beyond its sound. Making such recordings openly available without context or limits risks detaching them from these meanings and contributes to extractive practices, in which cultural knowledge and creativity are used without proper acknowledgement or reciprocity. Individuals interested in working with these materials are invited to contact prueferc@uni-hildesheim.de. Access may be granted under conditions that ensure respect for Yorùbá cultural values and the rights of the artists and communities involved.
