Here is a Nature Poem for Aralola Olamuyiwa the best African talking drummer.
A nature poem for the African talking drummer is something that is amazingly great.
When you find a woman doing the things that could be an exclusive right of the men, you just need to encourage her.
For the love of African talking drums, we salute Ara with this lovely poetic tribute.
Ara
[A Tribute to Aralola Olamuyiwa]
Ara!, our mystery talking drummers,
Allured in a long braids that conjure her root,
Her appearance is a folk song of African attire.
Wonders of wonder!,
Who taught a woman the mystery of the drum?
She must be a blessed-daughter of a warrior.
Our Ara!, blessed with a towering prowess,
Her tapping relish the zest that free your soul,
Wesley Snipes could testified, Stevie Wonder would confirmed,
Wole Shoyinka would admire with a thoughts of genius
The crowd could only go while imagining
The magical strength that flows from her rhythm.
Their Ara!, a mystery in combination
How she infused the talking-drum with their classical music
Is still a mystery the developed races are dreaming to uncover
No wonder she is called “the enigma of the African race”.
She has globe-trot the universe
Preaching the gospel according to the talking-drum
Her African root she carries with pride
That the world will bow for this true Queen of n African legacy.
