Yoruba Bata: A Living Drum and Dance Tradition from Nigeria

Beautiful!  Ashé

I could not have said it better myself (referring to Softbird's comment). We are as a tree that is just merely on the earth's ground disconnected from its roots and thus does not grow. Black people, we need to reconnect with our spirituality and thought. That is an essential step to clear the turbidity in our path as a unit

I could not have said it better myself (in reference to Softbird's comment). We are as a tree just standing alone on the ground with no connection to its roots and thus does not grow. Black people, we must reconnect with ourselves. I guarantee that if we did, the turbidity of our path would begin to fade and become much more clear

Absolutely wonderful. And I love the way you structured it.

i´m a white man and my religion is yoruba

I'm glad that the Orisha tradition had a chance to flourish in the "new world" ... And now it is sooooooooooooooooooo big that soooooo many people of different ethnicities, black and non black now practice this tradition in it's variations. I wouldn't have it any other way... I refuse to let Christians, Muslims or Jews dictate on what my heart chooses to follow.

OMG! That lil girl was really doin her thing..! I love the drums...and the dancing too..Meenh, I miss naija oo, Lagos, Eko o!
Ah....
Very nice video... :D

Im Soooo proud to be Yoruba
we have soo much culture!!!!
i dont care what N E body hav 2 sayyy
im just glad that God blessed me 2 be a Nigerian♥♥♥

so we are now an "ethno linguistic group" . no we arent.. we are a NATION .. batUCLAda.. you can call us whatever you like but you are not a yoruba so its not important what you call us.. the yoruba people travelled far and wide , the slaves who were taken to south america managed to perserve the yoruba culture in certain south american countries most blacks in the diaspora are ignorant of african cultures and have to teach themselves whatever they know. you need to check your ANGER at the door

if the yorubas offend you by their existence in south america you need to look away because they arent going anywhere... nobody claimed that the slaves came just from yoruba lands.. besides there is no trace of the original yoruba culture in north america, unlike brazil where yoruba is still spoken in one form or another.you sound angry about this so you need to deal with that anger on a board where yorubas are not going to congregate its NOT our problem..
