Francis Awe leads his "Oyinbo" students at Pasadena City College, California, in this rendition of Yoruba (Nigerian) music "Keresimesi" - a celebration of Christmas. Kudos to the students for the impressive efforts in delivering the Yoruba lyrics. And kudos to Olori Omowale Awe for the choreography.

  • @galamoods we appreciate those who take the time to learn about our culture, yoruba is spoken world wide by over forty million people and we have extensions of our culture in parts of south america the language can be seen in parts of Brazil and our culture followed the slaves and has managed to continue with some of their descendants out there .. a remarkable feat .. check out TITILAYO OYINBO on yt .. very impressive ...

  • what are you doing on here dont you have some TUPAC video to drool on or find some video with LIL WAYNE and his RED BONED WOMAN to dribble over ? you missed your way here..CLEARLY .
