Elderly Yoruba Drummer with Talking Drums Outdoors

Photorealistic, ultra-detailed scene of an elderly Yoruba man playing traditional talking drums outdoors in a rural Nigerian village. He sits on a wooden stool, wearing a white agbada with blue embroidery and a patterned cap. The hourglass-shaped talking drums are strapped at his side, with leather cords and lacing visible, as he strikes them with a carved curved stick and his fingers, producing rhythmic patterns that seem to speak. Warm golden-hour light bathes the scene, with dust motes in the air, thatched huts, palm trees, and distant villagers in soft focus. A close-up on his weathered face, hands, and the drums shows wrinkles, beads of sweat, and intense concentration, while the wider frame captures vibrant earth tones, traditional textiles, and a sense of communal heritage. The mood is celebratory and reverent, with realistic light, depth of field, and a subtle sense of motion in the drum cords and skins.
