Dadakuada is a type of Yoruba performance art form which originated from and is popular among the people of Kwara.
[1][2] Dadakuada started about three hundred years ago,[3] according to folktales.
Dadakuada is very rich in beats which are derived from traditional instruments like talking drum, bata, gangan and agogo.
They are always seated in a semi-circle and they perform in any event, ranging from naming ceremonies to funeral.
Later on the music genre spread to other south-western parts of Nigeria.
