September 1959 - The North's Great Durbar - The beating
September 1959 - The North's Great Durbar - The beating of war drums by special mallams during the durbar. From all parts of the North they came. The bold calvarymen on their feiry steeds, their swords and spears glistening in the sun. The women from Zaria Province, tall and erect in their colourful robes. The men dancers, bursting with smiles and vitality. (Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)
