@@ismailolatunji178 Yoruba is the largest tribe in Nigeria and Africa. They make of most the diaspora in the Americas/new world. Yoruba culture is practiced daily in Brazil, Cuba and Haiti, it is life and death. Yoruba culture is known worldwide, it was even stolen by Greeks where you can see the similarity. Igbo are a minority, their are not even top 3 populated tribe in Nigeria. They have no influence in the Americas. Even in Jamacia, they are mostly descendants of the Asante people of Ghana. I dont even noticed Igbo culture in the Americas.
@@onolatimes The so called Yoruba are not a tribe, the name applies to various interrelated tribes that make up the ''ethnic group'' that are today called the Yoruba. However continuing with that concept of African ethnic groups, the Fulani would actually be largest & in fact there are (controversially) Fulani tribes that are native to many other regions outside of Africa. The primary ethnic groups brought to the Americas during slavery were the Manding, Cameroonians (which includes Igbo), Fulani & Akan. Jamaicans are primarily a heavy blend of Akan/Igbo with some Fulani roots. There were many Yoruba who came to central- South America before & after the slave trade however they most certainly are not the majority or the most culturally influential because the historical records indicate they participated in more slave trading then most other West African societies, whereas Igbos & Fulanis were the main groups that they initially sold during the early foundations of the trans Atlantic slave trade.

I’m not sure what you’re talking about. I met someone from the continent of Africa, can’t remember what country, but once he learned I was from Cuba, he asked if I knew Yoruba, I didn’t but I took it to my uncle, and even thought 500yrs have passed and my uncle has never set a foot in Africa, they understood each other and talked for a long while. It’s just a different accent with a touch of pronunciation from their native language. Even though Brazilians speak Portuguese and Cubans Spanish, and the video narrator English with a terrible Yoruba accent, you can still understand
A lot of African cultures got scrubbed out during slavery, Yoruba culture stayed at the forefront because Yorubas are very stubborn and proud by nature. Yorubaland is one of the most liberal places in the World. I know Yorubas that are die hard Christians and Muslims yet they'll be at traditional festivals praising the Orisa or they'll go to Babalawo when their religious books don't make sense. Yorubas are just a different species altogether lol
Most of our people back home are just running away from themselves, which is impossible. They or their children are still going to return to their past. It has started already.
Yoruba culture can be found all over Latin America from Brazil 🇧🇷 to Mexico 🇲🇽 to the USA 🇺🇸 especially in oyotunji and all of the Caribbean islands 🌴 🇨🇺 🇵🇷 🇯🇲 🇭🇹 🇩🇴...
I think oyotunji is a new and modern community who recently embraced Yoruba culture. It's not like those in Brazil,cuba,haiti etc which were old practice
@@weirdo4653 yes Mexico 🇲🇽 For your information Mexico was the first country to give African slaves there freedom because of Gaspar Yanga. People from Veracruz, Guerrero and Oaxaca are descendent from west Africans ,native Americans and Spanish Europeans. I’m oaxaqueño my race is AfroMestiza and my nationality is Mexican Most people from the south of Mexico are afromestizos or pure indigenous and most people from the north of Mexico are mestizos or pure indigenous President V.Guerrero was afromestizo which would make him the first Afro decent president in the Americas way before Obama

You are my hero Hometeam ❤ I hope that you have a pharaonic name, Hometeam, or any other empirical name, because you deserve it! Yoruba people,their culture and religion are very powerful, they are also great business women and men!!! I truly see our ancestors's heritage in our people in the diaspora, it's sometimes even stronger than in our motherland that where some of the places have become arabised or europenied completely. When I discovered Harlem in 2016, I cried tears of Joy looking at my beautiful Sisters and Brothers who survived the cultural genocide, I felt the same way visiting New Orleans 💕 Some Brazilians and other children of Africa are coming back home, exactly as predicted by our Brother Marcus Garvey.
@@arushanioshaka5600 A few words, like mofòngo, and pilón. Also the "7 potencias" have roots, from the Yoruba. Ochún, Changó, Obatalá, etc. And of course "us". You can look at the traditional music, and culture like bomba & plena, and many other things, throughout Puerto Rican culture
I would like to see a animation video about King Piye and his conquest of Egypt that made him the founder of the 25th dynasty, who then help restored the main religion of worship of Amun, and restored Nile Valley culture.
Linking this with the Yoruba culture was good. But saying this is unique of Brazil is wrong. Cubans, Venezuelans and Puerto Ricans follow the same deities you mention here
Yes, and not only are the the Yoruba deities worshipped in South America and the Caribbean, they are worshipped in the United States in New York and Miami. In fact, any place,where there is a large Afro-Caribbean community.
I soooooooo badly wanna study the spiritual aspect of Yoruba in Brazil, New Orleans and on the African continent. I feel so empty because I am not financially independent and I am worried about people who may take advantage of my naivety.
Go to Cuba, it’s the exact same thing, but a lot cheaper. Plus regardless the lack of things and the great needs they have, but the love of religion comes first and they love to help people
Just be careful because some people will try to use your naivety to milk you dry. I'm a Yoruba born and bread. I wish you well on this search/journey you are about to embark on 🙏
There are some things that peaple would not find in books ... one of then is that the blend with catolicism was made before the Yorubas. The peaple that made it were from Angola. They had a unique type of catholicism because of the Kongo's monarchys (in the actual Angola country). They made this fusion between african religions and the catolicism when they try to convert to catolicism with almost without missionarys for some centurys. The fusion with the yorubas beliefs was made from that catholicism. The angola's catholicism.
good point but same syncretism with catholism is found in places were slaves from Kongo (modern Angola) were few but many from Yoruba were present like in Cuba, Trinidad and Tobago etc. so this isn't all to it
That's something they would not tolerate in the southern part of the United States they made sure they tried to drive every bit of Africa out of us. Even though we were able to hang on to some traditions.
I was so surprised when I realized voodoo is similar to vodun -- which I know because it is part of a whole "nation" from the candomblé, jeje-mahim! At least the word sound is, maybe the meaning is different.
Having slave owners who were Catholic seems to be a big factor in how much African religious culture could be preserved. I've noticed this when comparing the amount of African culture that was preserved in Catholic countries vs Protestant countries. Maybe the many saints found in Catholicism made it easier to disguise various African deities? This would be more difficult in Protestant countries where saints aren't worshiped.
Protestants are more principled. They take their morals more seriously, at least in form. Catholics are incredibly flexible and don't even care about form. I was raised catholic and I never felt there were rigid rules going on.
Nice point, further, actually there are many attacks to "yoruba houses" in Brazil, always leaded by Protestants, you never see a catholic physically disrespecting aspects of Yoruba religion although many has prejudice against it
Great documentary. I was this on a recent trip to Brazil, and other countries like Cuba, Colombia, Dominican Republic. What i found intriguing about brazil, is some of the religions, believe in Jesus and also their African gods...its blended...its a beautiful thing, that they managed to keep their beliefs and ways of life from Africa.
One small critical correction is on the dominance of Women. Its directly from the continent and you will find that the Yorubas have feminist deities and masculine deities and some that would only be served by female priestesses. A good example is the Yemoja as well as the priestesses of the Osun Osogbo Groove.
The guy in the video forgot to explain something important. In Candomblé here in Brazil there's both male and female priests "Yalorixá" and "Babalorixá".
The Baale Yemoja in Ìbàdàn is a man, and many men participate in the annual festival, although there are a majority of female Yemoja priestesses. But I do agree with you that traditional Yoruba spirituality has always had a balance between masculine / feminine energies and allowed space for both male and female leadership roles. And this balance does differ based on the particular Òrìṣà
I wouldn't look at it to say he is forgetting something. I would rather we see this as him providing bread crumbs that the comments here contribute to the larger understanding and lead those who are interested to look more deeply

Thanks for this quick summary of the influence which the Yoruba Ethnic group has had on Brazilian religion & social life for the past 600 years. Other than the Yoruba culture which is still heavily celebrated in Brazil today as a result of many slaves from the Dahomey empire in West Africa being captured and transported over by the Portugese Slave Merchants, are there other African Ethnicities you've found which might not be as popular as the Yoruba ones, but still had shaped the culture/behavior of Brazilians today, that you know of ?
@Ant Maf You have to be awfully ignorant to but into my comment and carry such a huge assumption about what I understand. Can the same practices and mannerisms of the Yoruba slaves in Brazil remain as intact as they were back in Africa after over 600yrs of separation? Even if you individually choose to ignore everything said in the video, can’t you open your eyes and see what is happening in the AfroBrazilian communities in Brazil? Don’t they have a fusion of African/Yoruba Spirituality & the Roman Catholicism which was forced on them by their Masters? You expect them to just suddenly drop what they’ve been used to and has worked for them & magically accept what was being mandated over them particularly by the people who enslaved them, overnight? Do you think before the Europeans came to West Africa, the Yorubas were reading the bible or following after the works of Jesus Christ? It will be equally ignorant of you to discard the fact that it was the remnants of the tradition they had back home which they carried over to Brazil & tried sustaining over the generations even till today, and that didn’t directly involve Christianity. Before you come from your high horse and but into someone’s comment on TH-cam, better screw your head on right and have your facts straight.
We are spiritual people. We see it in every form. We can understand we are here for a reason. Just because we can’t see our creator. Sorry, this was a history class. 😂

That's misinformation when you said Female roles in these initiations are kind of suppressed in Yorubaland. Depending on the deity, females can take as much leading roles as their male counterparts even in Yorubaland. Yeye Orisha, Yeye Osun literally translates to Mother of the god. And those are just a few that I know.
I lived in Salvador,Bahia for a long time. I’m part of a terreiro in the Jêjé branch of Candomblê. Bahia really is Wakanda,and I encourage more cultural exchange between other black people in the diaspora and Baianos. Well done. You should do videos on Sebastian Lemba of Dominican Republic, or the plethora of black traditions in Cuba like Abakua.
Just a thing, actually in the first few years of the republic "the Brazilian old republic" mostly everything it's Brazilian Black culture wasn't legal, in Rio de Janeiro ( my city and the capital of the country in this era) the capoeira, the afro religion cults and posterity the samba music were considering crimes, so because of that in many city's like Rio the culture evolve hide in the Portuguese European culture. Many things just legalized after being watched, noticed accept by another Nation's like the UK, USA or France, and other things like samba and others black artistic movements inspired by the Yoruba culture were considering crimes until white people try to do, something similar to the Blues and jazz history
Im confused about the mention of st Barbara being the wife of st Jerome? Didn't they exist in different places and time period? Or was the text meant to say that the wife of Xango is associated with St Barbara?
Deut 10:8 At that time YHWH set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the Ark of YHWH’s Covenant, to stand in attendance upon YHWH, and to bless in His name, as is still the case. They are Levites!!!!
Here in Brazil the Yoruba are like the Germans to the USA, the backbone of the country. Even me, a white brazilian have african descent. All Brazilians sing samba, no matter the color of our skin, we all know the name of at least one orisha, it is our culture, even if you don't believe in religion, like me, a Christian. I went to an Umbanda church once and you meet both white and black people. unlike the usa, african culture has been integrated here, not suppressed (now i belive the USA s integrating more of the black culture , BUT BOY IT TOOK LONG...). I am not saying that there is no racism here, but it is not like the USA (I would say that it is more like the racism that Italians suffer in the USA, wich is no good to, but diferent).

Que pasó con Colombia que todavía ese sincretismo se mantiene tan oculto??? En comparación con países como Haití, Brasil, Cuba... Todavía tenemos algunas manifestaciones mágico religiosas como el ritual Lumbalu en el palenque de San Basilio, y los chigualos, arruyos y levantamiento de tumbas en el Pacífico colombiano, los Santos católicos como Santa Barbara, San Francisco entre muchos otros siguen siendo los patrones de muestras comunidades..
Porque a diferencia de Brasil o Cuba, Colombia ha tenido muchas guerras civiles por temas religiosos. Cosas que se toleraban en Brasil o en Haití serían impensables en la hegemonía conservadora colombiana.
If you'd learn Portuguese you'd have a ton of content to make about African history in Brazil. You'll se different perspective on African culture and a new way it could have developed
There is no blend in between the Yoruba religion, Candomble in Brazil, and Catholicism. You don't see a crucifix in a Terreiro, or say the our father, what happened is that people practiced both religions, separately.

It always amazes me when I hear Yoruba words in some of these Latin religions, I like how they made it their own.
I’m not sure what you’re talking about. I met someone from the continent of Africa, can’t remember what country, but once he learned I was from Cuba, he asked if I knew Yoruba, I didn’t but I took it to my uncle, and even thought 500yrs have passed and my uncle has never set a foot in Africa, they understood each other and talked for a long while. It’s just a different accent with a touch of pronunciation from their native language. Even though Brazilians speak Portuguese and Cubans Spanish, and the video narrator English with a terrible Yoruba accent, you can still understand
Thank you for talking about black culture, and camdoble on Brazil, I was waiting for a video like this. Hugs Broder

Yes I loved the Yoruba culture as manifested in Brazil. It is very present in the Northeast of Brazil and Rio. It is very beautiful and inspiring
A lot of African cultures got scrubbed out during slavery, Yoruba culture stayed at the forefront because Yorubas are very stubborn and proud by nature. Yorubaland is one of the most liberal places in the World. I know Yorubas that are die hard Christians and Muslims yet they'll be at traditional festivals praising the Orisa or they'll go to Babalawo when their religious books don't make sense. Yorubas are just a different species altogether lol
Most of our people back home are just running away from themselves, which is impossible. They or their children are still going to return to their past. It has started already.
@@ADE-of-LAGOS very true I’m already trying to convert to the traditional yoruba spirituality of isese when I’m older
Yoruba culture can be found all over Latin America from Brazil 🇧🇷 to Mexico 🇲🇽 to the USA 🇺🇸 especially in oyotunji and all of the Caribbean islands 🌴 🇨🇺 🇵🇷 🇯🇲 🇭🇹 🇩🇴...
I think oyotunji is a new and modern community who recently embraced Yoruba culture. It's not like those in Brazil,cuba,haiti etc which were old practice
@@oluwadamilola6233 It’s true oyotunji was founded in 1970 it’s more modern compared Yoruba culture throughout Latin America

I love to learn about the Yoruban mythology it's so amazing to me
I found out I am a Yoruba descendant today. Making a note to visit Cuba, Northeast Brazil, and Nigeria on the continent in the near future.
I’m from Brazil, Salvador, Bahia The blackest city outside of Africa n our culture is alive, our religion don’t judge ppl it’s all about peace.
Terreiro de canomblé is where we practice our religion n it was very criticized in the past for being a black religion n for being open to homosexuals as the Christians had bad views towards it, but we didn’t care ! We love our orixás e all black ppl it’s a place where u can be yourself n express it.

Yoruba influence, is still big in Puerto Rico. We have many Yoruba words, in Puerto Rican Spanish.
Like what ? I would love to know
@@arushanioshaka5600 A few words, like mofòngo, and pilón. Also the "7 potencias" have roots, from the Yoruba. Ochún, Changó, Obatalá, etc. And of course "us". You can look at the traditional music, and culture like bomba & plena, and many other things, throughout Puerto Rican culture

@@MichaelClayton64 ok, I would have linked it, but I guess you have seen it
Yours is some of the most scholarly and well spoken social, cultural and historical work I have seen on TH-cam. THank you.
Of course Brazil was influenced by a lot more than Yoruba people. Lots of African tribes contributed but the Yoruba had the strongest influence.
Linking this with the Yoruba culture was good. But saying this is unique of Brazil is wrong. Cubans, Venezuelans and Puerto Ricans follow the same deities you mention here
Yes, and not only are the the Yoruba deities worshipped in South America and the Caribbean, they are worshipped in the United States in New York and Miami. In fact, any place,where there is a large Afro-Caribbean community.
Yes,we follow this in puerto rico & All over the Caribbean.
I soooooooo badly wanna study the spiritual aspect of Yoruba in Brazil, New Orleans and on the African continent. I feel so empty because I am not financially independent and I am worried about people who may take advantage of my naivety.
Go to Cuba, it’s the exact same thing, but a lot cheaper. Plus regardless the lack of things and the great needs they have, but the love of religion comes first and they love to help people
Just be careful because some people will try to use your naivety to milk you dry. I'm a Yoruba born and bread. I wish you well on this search/journey you are about to embark on 🙏
*This amazing video is Turtle Approved* ✓
Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
That bit about the vernacular was a nice surprise. Thanks for the exploration of this subject.
Top shelf content my man!
There are some things that peaple would not find in books ... one of then is that the blend with catolicism was made before the Yorubas. The peaple that made it were from Angola. They had a unique type of catholicism because of the Kongo's monarchys (in the actual Angola country). They made this fusion between african religions and the catolicism when they try to convert to catolicism with almost without missionarys for some centurys.
The fusion with the yorubas beliefs was made from that catholicism. The angola's catholicism.
Interesting!
good point but same syncretism with catholism is found in places were slaves from Kongo (modern Angola) were few but many from Yoruba were present like in Cuba, Trinidad and Tobago etc. so this isn't all to it
That's something they would not tolerate in the southern part of the United States they made sure they tried to drive every bit of Africa out of us. Even though we were able to hang on to some traditions.
I was so surprised when I realized voodoo is similar to vodun -- which I know because it is part of a whole "nation" from the candomblé, jeje-mahim! At least the word sound is, maybe the meaning is different.
Exactly , they stripped us to bone.

@@MsHaappi Vodun and Voodoo are the same.
@@maatatoure9602 what is AFRICAN about the BA
Having slave owners who were Catholic seems to be a big factor in how much African religious culture could be preserved.
I've noticed this when comparing the amount of African culture that was preserved in Catholic countries vs Protestant countries. Maybe the many saints found in Catholicism made it easier to disguise various African deities? This would be more difficult in Protestant countries where saints aren't worshiped.
True observation, just compare Cuba and Haiti to Jamaica. Even in West Africa you can compare Nigeria to Benin Republic and see the same trend.
Protestants are more principled. They take their morals more seriously, at least in form. Catholics are incredibly flexible and don't even care about form.
I was raised catholic and I never felt there were rigid rules going on.
Nice point, further, actually there are many attacks to "yoruba houses" in Brazil, always leaded by Protestants, you never see a catholic physically disrespecting aspects of Yoruba religion although many has prejudice against it
Great documentary. I was this on a recent trip to Brazil, and other countries like Cuba, Colombia, Dominican Republic. What i found intriguing about brazil, is some of the religions, believe in Jesus and also their African gods...its blended...its a beautiful thing, that they managed to keep their beliefs and ways of life from Africa.
Always full of knowledge 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of da only real channels
One small critical correction is on the dominance of Women. Its directly from the continent and you will find that the Yorubas have feminist deities and masculine deities and some that would only be served by female priestesses. A good example is the Yemoja as well as the priestesses of the Osun Osogbo Groove.
The guy in the video forgot to explain something important. In Candomblé here in Brazil there's both male and female priests "Yalorixá" and "Babalorixá".
The Baale Yemoja in Ìbàdàn is a man, and many men participate in the annual festival, although there are a majority of female Yemoja priestesses. But I do agree with you that traditional Yoruba spirituality has always had a balance between masculine / feminine energies and allowed space for both male and female leadership roles. And this balance does differ based on the particular Òrìṣà
@@dondon9734 Very interesting. Analogous to the Babalawo's and Iya Alawo's in Yoruba land
I wouldn't look at it to say he is forgetting something. I would rather we see this as him providing bread crumbs that the comments here contribute to the larger understanding and lead those who are interested to look more deeply

Can u pls make a video of how Yoruba religion has influenced religions in West Africa and in the Americas
Thanks for this quick summary of the influence which the Yoruba Ethnic group has had on Brazilian religion & social life for the past 600 years.
Other than the Yoruba culture which is still heavily celebrated in Brazil today as a result of many slaves from the Dahomey empire in West Africa being captured and transported over by the Portugese Slave Merchants, are there other African Ethnicities you've found which might not be as popular as the Yoruba ones, but still had shaped the culture/behavior of Brazilians today, that you know of ?
@Ant Maf You have to be awfully ignorant to but into my comment and carry such a huge assumption about what I understand.
Can the same practices and mannerisms of the Yoruba slaves in Brazil remain as intact as they were back in Africa after over 600yrs of separation?
Even if you individually choose to ignore everything said in the video, can’t you open your eyes and see what is happening in the AfroBrazilian communities in Brazil? Don’t they have a fusion of African/Yoruba Spirituality & the Roman Catholicism which was forced on them by their Masters?
You expect them to just suddenly drop what they’ve been used to and has worked for them & magically accept what was being mandated over them particularly by the people who enslaved them, overnight?
Do you think before the Europeans came to West Africa, the Yorubas were reading the bible or following after the works of Jesus Christ? It will be equally ignorant of you to discard the fact that it was the remnants of the tradition they had back home which they carried over to Brazil & tried sustaining over the generations even till today, and that didn’t directly involve Christianity.
Before you come from your high horse and but into someone’s comment on TH-cam, better screw your head on right and have your facts straight.

That's misinformation when you said Female roles in these initiations are kind of suppressed in Yorubaland. Depending on the deity, females can take as much leading roles as their male counterparts even in Yorubaland. Yeye Orisha, Yeye Osun literally translates to Mother of the god. And those are just a few that I know.

Many things just legalized after being watched, noticed accept by another Nation's like the UK, USA or France, and other things like samba and others black artistic movements inspired by the Yoruba culture were considering crimes until white people try to do, something similar to the Blues and jazz history

Que pasó con Colombia que todavía ese sincretismo se mantiene tan oculto??? En comparación con países como Haití, Brasil, Cuba... Todavía tenemos algunas manifestaciones mágico religiosas como el ritual Lumbalu en el palenque de San Basilio, y los chigualos, arruyos y levantamiento de tumbas en el Pacífico colombiano, los Santos católicos como Santa Barbara, San Francisco entre muchos otros siguen siendo los patrones de muestras comunidades..
Porque a diferencia de Brasil o Cuba, Colombia ha tenido muchas guerras civiles por temas religiosos. Cosas que se toleraban en Brasil o en Haití serían impensables en la hegemonía conservadora colombiana.

There is no blend in between the Yoruba religion, Candomble in Brazil, and Catholicism. You don't see a crucifix in a Terreiro, or say the our father, what happened is that people practiced both religions, separately.
But you see many saints in a terreiro.
Do you know why is it called a syncretic religion?
