I LOVE my Yoruba culture. I'm proud that all my family are Yoruba. We will stay that way until the end of time. God Bless Nigeria.

@greenie247 it is not strange at all, the yoruba culture is very embedded in south america to this day.

Sorry, I don't have versions of the songs as they are featured in this video. But members of the same family are playing on a CD for sale called "Agalu: Spirit of the Drum."

it is interesting to know you have a great deal of work on yoruba culture especially bata and egungun from erin osun but this i think would not be complete without mentioning and exhibiting some peculiar traditional characters from erin-ile where historically the erin osun originated from - this a town somewhere in kwara state. I want you to find out about this historical town called erin - ile.

Eseun, I have done my best to document this history in my book's opening chapter. My book's title is *Yoruba Bata Goes Global: Artists, Culture Brokers and Fans* (2007, University of Chicago Press).
