If trust is a form then it is Ara’s performance day before yesterday at
the Renaissance Hotel as she did not fail her audience who are loyal to her
splendid rendition.
Just when those who are not in
the know where whispering to each other why there is still a craving for Ara – Nigeria's first female talking-drummer, the sound of rhythmic speaking overwhelmed
their uninformed perspective, as the familiar spiritual exercise carried on,
heads began to turn left to right, front to back and then up and about trying
to locate this introduction that has brewed curiosity, and heightened everyone’s
energy.
As this went on, the lovely curvy
appearance of the renowned female drummer stunned everyone interestingly as she
moved approvingly well to the chanting. Participants were glued as they stood
and watch.
She made everyone dance so
agreeably to the rhythm that she drummed out and it created a divided feeling
around as some stood up in captivation as the realization of why she’s craved
hit them and those in the know (her audience) danced to the excitingly rhythmic
sounds that was pleasing to the ears and gladdening to the mind, and it encouraged
the body to dance in various dance the sounds of the drum inspired them
to. The awe in awesome was Ara as she wowed everyone with her spiritual
movement that moved everyone to higher level of admiration.
Just when we all was so carried
away approvingly well, she invited us into knowing her immense vocal strength
and she so interestingly took us from one vocal range to another and “MANY” had
absolutely no idea she is powerfully good with her voice just as she is with
drums.
Her performance created that
intriguing-energetic mood at the event and other artist followed through with
that path and it was a one good feeling participants were reveling even before
they left.
