The Kakaki is a dramatically long musical instrument, they get up to 4 meters long!
It is an African wind instrument most attributed to the Hausa tribe in Nigeria but found in a few other countries.
The Kakaki is usually reserved for special occasions where it is played
exclusively to kings and sultans. There are not many expert players.
This is not just any Kakaki player, he plays at the palace of the Ooni of Ife, the most prestigious Yoruba king. This usually happens whenever the king makes an entrance.
We ran into him during a recent visit to the palace.
Here’s me taking a pose too
