To our Yorubas in Homeland Nigeria , this is a great lesson. its unbelievable how our kinsmen in the Caribbeans and America were able to pass on the knowledge for generations against all odds. We in the homeland should embrace our culture with all our chest
This is product 100% of African syncretism and Spanish imposed given the particularity of the Cuban context as the derivation of Yoruba called Santeria, it is not necessarily the same throughout Latin America, in fact in the Caribbean, where we all have the African component, syncretism did not develop in the same way
this makes me remember my time at school in ENIA national school of instructors of arts in Cuba. yes Cuba keeps the roots of our culture alive and it comes mostly from Africa. up till today is there still very much present. I'm very proud of my country for that and the uniqueness Africa brought to our culture. very welldone love the Video.
Leave it to Caribbean islands like Cuba and Haiti for keeping vast numbers of religious traditions alive. It is one aspect, besides the wildlife, that I enjoy studying these islands.
Which Babalawo was sent to Cuba who preserved this so well? This lady does it so well. For once, I thought she was African. Now I am convinced Yorubas will never lose their identity anywhere they go.
Sam Oystein no the people of cuba preserved the culture 100s of years, no Babalawo taught them from Nigeria. They kept the culture alive during slavery that nigerian denied ever took place. Because of guilt
Green Greener , you dont know history at all. The cubans perserved the culture through slavery that nigerian denied ever took place. This is the proof. They did learn from going tp Nigeria, they were already practice and living it out. Stop with the foolishness.
Ño Remigio Herrera Adeshina Obara Meyi (1811/1816 - 1905) was a babalawo (Yoruba priest) recognized for being, along with his mentor Carlos Adé Ño Bí (birth name, Corona), the main successor of the religious system of Ifá in America.[1] Ño Remigio Herrera was perhaps the most famous surviving African in Cuba in the 19th century. “Ño,” synonymous to "Sir", was a title of distinction, a term of respect and endearment bestowed upon the great native elders of the African “nations” on the island. His name “Adeshina” means “Crown-Opens-The-Way” in Yoruba.
Hello Yusimi, I have enjoyed your video, dances of the Orishas'. You embodyed everyone of them beautifully. I'm a new fan! friendly greetings, Ivanisha (Rotterdam/Hollanda)
The heritage of the Yoruba religion and culture in Cuba has been preserved, not only through the practices of this religion and the religious rites to the Orishas. In Cuba, in the high school of arts, they try to keep alive that heritage and those African roots, there are great teachers and dancers in this type of dance. In addition there are also different groups of Cuban folk dance that is almost practically Africancultur and the wonderful Yusimi is proof of it
Cuba, Brazil, Antigua, Haiti were all good improvisation, and Trinidad and Tobago is the authentic practices...the Yoruba pronunciation is more like spoken words of the Yorubas in Ile Ife, Oshogbo, Ede and Oyo.The Yoruba spoken in the cities is variant, diluted with neo colonial ....sounding more street wise

jayjayolagoke ode ni e. Your type use your left hand to describe your father's house. Nigerians are fantastic people and you are not our spokesperson so hold on to your slave status as African American.
Opeyemi Omotunde Oni Jay Jay don't mind him. I'm surprised he will call us African Americans slaves. Ignorant statement. Some of us are practicing Yoruba IFA. Ex Oyotunji village in South Carolina. Yoruba culture is unique and different to other cultures in Nigeria. Furthermore Ope u should not be quick to judge people. Find out what they are about before u name call. Yoruba and Nigeria are not the same. Smh.
Opeyemi Omotunde Oni @ jayjayolagoke. It's interesting how this guy judged u so prematurely when u have nothing but Nigerian soccer matches, music and culture on your channel. If you check out this guy's opeyemi channel it does not even compare. Only one video that's rubbish. You have done so much for our communities not just in Nigeria but in East Africa as well. Sad thing is that he is younger than u and came at u so disrespectful. And that's not what African culture is about. And disrespecting African Americans who had nothing to do with your comment. Sad day indeed.
They can do the bata dances more than the original Yoruba, all the techniques are lost in the distance past, and this guys here are the time capsule that reveal the deep religion. Though I have a little aversion for it, knowing the atrocities it had brought in time past. Remember, on holidays at my home town of Ife, some little kids going around dancing like this for a little pay. The bata dance has rich and innovative dance steps.
akinwale Alexander It is the same with some aspects of Ashanti culture and the Jamaicans. The Jamaicans preserved some aspects of Ashanti culture better than Ghanaians of today. I would not have believed it if anyone had told e the singer was White. We are indeed in a globalized world. No one can claim monopoly of anything.
You are a Confused African Green Greener Hahaahahahaha,The Carribeans are our brothers and Sisters from West Africa, Slave Coast, Gold Coast, Ivory Coast, and other West African Nations. They were forced out of Africa, into Slavery. So show some Respect to Them, For Preserving Our UNIQUE, GLORIOUS, & COLOURFUL TRADITION & CULTURE. You are a Hater, Get a LIFE.
It is also classed as a religion given that the orisas are worshipped "religiously" by those that still practice it just as Budhism is a religion. Although I do understand where you're coming from as it's also our culture and language. It's what makes us as a people. Sadly these our brothers and sisters are far from home.
Amazing dances! Beautiful heritage. But, all those "gods" worshipped. We've been doing that for thousands of years, isn't it time to worship ourselves? What have these 'gods" done for us, Humans? NOTHING! They never saved or helped the Africans!!
The ORISHAS will Come Back at the Right Appointed Time, Soon & Very Soon. The Reason You are not Progressing is, First, We are Far From Our Inner Spirit That Links us to Our African Spirituality. Once We get That Sorted, We will LOVE ONE Another, and Elevate Ourselves.

Absolutely beautiful
Amazing Ase !!!
Yoruba is a religion and the langtuage is God's language. Yoruba all over the world should know their language is sacred.
Yorubaland is a place and the culture and traditions are indigenous to how we lived. RELIGION is man made.
Braheem Stafford
Yoruba is God-s own language.
Travel to Yorubaland and witness on its prowess on humanity
Wonderful! I wish she had shown the dance for Aganju. His dance alone burns major calories and you need room to do those leaps!
I'm speechless as I watch this video. It is so impressive and educational. 👏👏👏
thanks for sharing!!!

Am Nigerian American Yoruba. E ku ise oh. Thanks for retaining our customs and traditions unlike Nigeria is today, almost useless.

This Ope... is an illiterate. Yoruba is what we are first and foremost. Very illiterate. Im surprised.

U r stupid for saying this. Where's is ur proof?
You are a Confused African Green Greener Hahaahahahaha,The Carribeans are our brothers and Sisters from West Africa, Slave Coast, Gold Coast, Ivory Coast, and other West African Nations.

@Green Greener.If it was a white woman she would be Yoruba in your case.
Ese n mi...
she is from Cuba the nigerias were brought as slaves to Cuba when the slave trade more than 200 years ago this became parte of our culture too .
I think you mean Cuba culture is made up of African culture heavily, look how you dance and eat, all comes from Africa.
Yes 🍯🔥🕸♾
@nuridin Adams Yoruba is not a religion but a culture and language but I respect you for trying
It is also classed as a religion given that the orisas are worshipped "religiously" by those that still practice it just as Budhism is a religion. Although I do understand where you're coming from as it's also our culture and language. It's what makes us as a people. Sadly these our brothers and sisters are far from home.
Yoruba is both culture/language and religion. Europeans have brainwashed some of you to abandon your religion for their own.
Sister, do you teach in Cuba?
Why not to use some welding equipment with Ogun?
The title us wrong. It should be cuban dances from yoruba.
Hahah so you dont have any idea of afrocuban culture and the particularity of the cuban syncretism so be quiet 😊

Allat Goddess they give us what we need to help ourselves. When we /greed/power get in our own way, we have no one to blame but ourselves
