What is Understanding Batá Drums in Afro-Cuban Culture about?

The three bata drums (ilú-aña) are the most important musical instruments of Afro-Cuban santería. They are the okónkolo (the smallest), the itótele (the middle one), and the iyá (the largest or "mother"). Together they constitute the orchestra of the Yoruba temple and are used in the ceremonies of the Lucumí cults to invoke the orichas such as Changó, the god of music. Each bata drum has a sacred name (aña) and a profane name (ilú) in Yoruba.
