This image depicts an outdoor gathering under a large tent in Ajaokuta, Nigeria. The scene focuses on several individuals, primarily men and women, seated on white plastic chairs on reddish-brown earth. In the immediate foreground, a man in a pink dashiki stands on the left, looking directly towards the viewer. He holds a talking drum (gangan) in his hands, positioned as if preparing to play or having just played. To his right, in the central foreground, an older man sits on a white plastic chair, dressed in a blue patterned outfit and a matching cap. He is actively holding and positioned with a large traditional drum, possibly an Iya Ilu, which has bands and small bells attached. His bare feet are visible, wearing black flip-flops. Beside him, on the ground, a djembe-style drum rests. To the right of the central drummer, a young male sits on another white plastic chair, wearing a blue t-shirt and distressed jeans. He holds a large, light-brown gourd shaker or rattle. Further to the right, only the lower portion of another individual in a patterned yellow, blue, and black outfit is visible, along with part of another small talking drum. The mid-ground is filled with numerous seated individuals, predominantly women, dressed in diverse, vibrant traditional Nigerian fabrics, often with matching headwraps (gele). Several men are also visible among the crowd. They are all seated on white plastic chairs. A black "SHOPRITE" branded bag and a woven basket are visible on the ground near the central drummer. The background features additional seated attendees under the tent. Beyond the tent's coverage, a light blue painted building and a tan-colored building constructed of unpainted blocks are visible. Green foliage and a palm tree rise above the buildings. The sky above is overcast. A large, light-colored (likely white or beige) tent canopy supported by metal poles provides shade over the gathering.
