EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 1920s in the Yola Province of northern Nigeria, West Africa, where the rich cultural heritage of the Bornu people comes alive through the captivating melodies of their musicians. In this evocative photograph, two musicians are seen in the rural countryside, surrounded by huts made of straw and mud. The musician on the left holds a trumpet to his lips, his eyes focused intently as he blows a lively tune. His companion, a drummer, beats a drum with an animated rhythm, their synchronization creating a harmonious symphony that resonates through the air. The 1920s, also known as the Jazz Age, was a time of great cultural exchange and innovation. Yet, in the rural areas of Africa, traditional music continued to thrive. The Bornu people, an ethnic group inhabiting what is now northeastern Nigeria and northern Cameroon, have a long history of musical traditions. Their music is characterized by the use of brass and percussion instruments, reflecting their rich cultural heritage. This photograph, taken in 1922, offers a rare glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when music was an integral part of daily life and a powerful means of expression. The two musicians, with their focused expressions and mastery of their instruments, embody the resilience and creativity of the people of Bornu, whose music continues to inspire and captivate audiences around the world.
