This year is definitely going to be a wonderful year for us all.As for us in Mainframe, our slogan for the year is either Swim or Sink but we have made our choice : to swim. To start the year, i have uploaded this beautiful adaptation of Hubert Ogunde’s Yoruba Ronu. It calls for sober reflections. Now,enjoy Yoruba E Ronu.

  • This is a great cultural document presented by ACE Cinematographer, Tunde Kelani. The works of Hubert Ogunde have surely been immortalised. Well done sir.

    The tonal quality of the Yoruba language really makes it a language of music. The many proverbs interwoven into this musical does help make it very engaging and thought provoking. I also enjoyed the rhythm of the music.

    As for the choreography, I do not particularly feel it was very good. For a scenario playing out in one location, I expected that the dances will be more complex and intriguing, and maybe the camera shots more dynamic. Also, the fife-like sound that played didn’t blend well with the drums, in my opinion. The contrast in sounds and feel was too much.

    All the same, I enjoyed this. Thumbs up!
