Ensembles using the dundun play a type of music that is also called dundun. These ensembles consist of various sizes of tension drums along with special band drums (ogido). The gangan is another such. The leader of a dundun ensemble is the oniyalu who uses the drum to “talk” by imitating the tonality of Yoruba. Much of Yoruba music is spiritual in nature, and this form is often devoted to Orisas.

Etymology#

The term crew was used by many first wave hardcore punk bands of the early 80s. 7 Seconds named their debut LP record The Crew in 1984, which also contained the song “The Crew”. Some other notable examples of this are Boston straight edge bands like SS Decontrol, Negative FX, DYS and other associates calling themselves the “Boston Crew”, bands in the Reno area (most notably 7 Seconds) used to refer to themselves as the “Skeeno Crew”. John L Hancock III (aka RatBoy) designed a T-shirt and wrote the Youth of Today song “Youth Crew” which appeared on their 1985 Can’t Close My Eyes 7". Warzone also had a song called “We’re the Crew” on their 1988 album Don’t Forget the Struggle, Don’t Forget the Streets. Judge also released a song called “New York Crew” in 1988.
