The alouloun is a Beninese musical instrument that is
used to play their music called Adjogan. It is a stick with some metallic rings
enclosed with jingle in time with the beating of the stick. This musical
instrument is said to have descended from the staff of office of King
Te-Agdanlin. It was produced for the royal court in the Porto-Novo region and
was initially intended to be a symbol of the King’s power and authority. It
became a tradition or more of culture to use the instrument to honor the high
standing official in the royal court. The Alouloun is on display at the Royal
palace Museum in Porto-Novo of Benin.
