Obagis

Obagis is a traditional African musical instrument, primarily associated with the Yoruba people of West Africa. It is a type of xylophone, consisting of a wooden frame with a series of wooden bars of varying lengths, which are struck with mallets to produce sound. The bars are typically made from hardwoods like ebony or mahogany, and are tuned by adjusting their lengths. The instrument is often used in religious ceremonies, festivals, and social gatherings, where it plays a central role in the music and dance performances. Obagis is also known for its distinctive, resonant sound, which can be both melodic and percussive. The instrument's design and playing technique have been passed down through generations, making it an important cultural artifact in Yoruba traditions.
