Yoruba culture

A rich and vibrant heritage, Yoruba culture encompasses the traditions, language, art, music, and religious beliefs of the Yoruba people, primarily located in southwestern Nigeria and parts of Benin and Togo. It is known for its intricate Ifá divination system, colorful festivals, elaborate drumming and dance, distinctive clothing such as the agbada and gele, and a strong emphasis on community and family values. Yoruba culture has deeply influenced contemporary African art and spirituality, and continues to thrive both in West Africa and throughout the African diaspora.
