The Foundation organises the Talking Drum Festival with the aim of achieving a Yoruba cultural renaissance. It is however sad to see the clear and obvious neglect, which the Talking Drum has suffered, relative to say, the piano or the stringed instruments of western civilization.

The festival parades an array of talents and exhibits on the talking drum. The event is always colourful with traditional drummers, dancers and artists in their traditional attires.

Activities of the Foundation are centred on research, organizing cultural events, festivals, training people on Yoruba arts and crafts, especially the Talking Drum, compilation and publishing of books, magazines, newsletters and journals on the Talking Drum, setting up museums and archival centers in strategic locations to preserve and foster the Yoruba Culture.
All with a view towards diversifying Nigeria's monolithic economic structure by driving tourist traffic and revenue to Southern Nigeria.

The Talking Drum is a monumental and unique contribution of the Yoruba to world musical heritage. It is an expressive musical instrument with the power of speech. It is one of the most varied among world musical instuments; particularly in its use and application.
