The Song of the Evening Harvest

The music starts very slowly

The dance grows gradually

With it, known palms caress

The drums, hides on their faces

Dance gentle dance, the air takes

Cue, the waves flow,

Fine feminine flow of flawless furry

Human skins and drum hides rhythm

Together in concerted animal gaiety

Àdàmò

Bàtá

Àgèrè

Dùndún

Sèkèrè

The spirit of dance just descended upon us

We brought neither sadness nor mourning.

Àdàmò… Sèkèrè: Yoruba drums
