The production (which offered the organiser the opportunity to publicise the Second World Black and African Festival of Culture and the Arts in Lagos) displayed a number of traditional dances from Nigeria, known as 'ceremonial arts'. These are played at festival and ceremonies to mark events such as birth, marriage, burial, etc. and are accompanied by songs and traditional musical instruments including the Sarewa (a pastoral flute), Duma (a traditional drum), and Goge (a string instrument).
