Yoruba sound effects sit inside a wider collection of everyday life in West Africa, from a crowded market square full of haggling and laughter to traffic rumbling under bridges, the hum of the highway and plenty of walla. Then it calms down. Away from town there's farmland, with crickets, birds and rain.
Busy markets and street walla do a lot of the work in setting a location, because the voices tell the audience where they are. The quieter side lives in Rainfall and Cricket, and there's more than streets too: a church service, reactions round a football pitch, quiet room tones. It all suits documentaries, dramas and games set in busy West African towns.
