In the quiet Nigerian village of Ọdẹ̀kúnlé, young Adéyẹmí has always been different—he hears the voices of drums even when they are silent. When the Ibùdó Drum, a sacred instrument tied to Wonderland’s history, disappears, the village’s rhythm begins to fade. Guided by whispers in the wind and spirits of the land, Adéyẹmí embarks on a journey to restore the lost beat of his people.
Through dangerous forests, ancient gatekeepers, and silent adversaries, Adéyẹmí learns that drums are more than instruments—they carry the stories of ancestors. Faced with a choice to keep Ibùdó for himself or return it to the village, he must decide whether he will hold power alone or share the rhythm with all.
A tale of heritage, tradition, and the power of sound, The Forgotten Drum weaves magic into reality, reminding us that as long as stories are told, rhythm will never die.
