This outdoor image depicts approximately ten dark-skinned individuals, primarily adult males, participating in a cultural performance on bare, reddish-brown earth in a traditional setting in Jos, Nigeria. In the foreground, a male adult, clad in white shorts and a cowrie shell harness covering his bare torso with a matching headband, actively plays a cylindrical wooden drum. He holds a drumstick in his right hand, while his left hand is open and positioned over the drumhead. A cowrie shell ornament is visible on his left ankle. To his left, another adult male wears a pink and white striped long-sleeved shirt and dark pants, playing a smaller cylindrical drum slung over his shoulder. To the right of the foreground drummer, a young male in a blue and white checkered long-sleeved shirt and dark pants holds a thin stick, observing the activity. In the mid-ground and background, several other adult males are visible. They wear similar cowrie shell headbands and torso adornments, some dressed in white shorts and others in yellow pants. These individuals are engaged in playing various drums or holding thin, dark wind instruments. Two traditional round huts with mud walls and thatched roofs are visible in the background, along with sparse vegetation. The scene is illuminated by bright daylight.
