Yoruba people and culture is a spirit itself....it can never die and it can never be cancelled....it will always live on forever and ever🙌🏽🙌🏽

i'm brazilian and adept to the Umbanda (another african-brazilian religion descendent from Yoruba cosmology), and i am so glad to see that our culture and history are seen in other parts of the world, what happened here, an african religion become so popular in such a racist society, is simply beautiful, and i can't help to be just so proud of being a descendent of the motherland Afrika, thank you for teaching about our culture to other people, and thank you for teaching me so much about african history, great video man !

If any of you guys ever visit Brazil to know Afro-brazilian culture I recommend coming to the northeast (mainly Bahia) or Rio de Janeiro. Racial distribution in Brazil varies from region to region, the south is more white, the northeast is more black and the north is more indigenous.

I love my people in all their forms, faiths and the cultures they practice. Love from NY ✊🏿

Afro-descendants in Brazil are the heart and soul of the country. We love you all our brothers and sisters in Brazil. You're welcome home anytime. Mad love from Kenya 🇰🇪

I'm proud of ancient yoruba art, the sculpture on the thumbnail with the facial scarifications is one with features that can pass for a modern day west African. Even the Europeans who came to Nigeria were shocked at how sophisticated our ancient art was, unfortunately they stole most of them.

I’m Venezuelan, we have a lot of AfroVenezuelans from Yoruba and Igno heritage. Their religion is sometimes known as “Santería”

love the content man. This encouraged me to start learning my home language Yoruba but to also pick up Brazilian Portuguese. global society is becoming more accepting of afro-centric cultures so there's promise in knowing these.

It always amazes me when I hear Yoruba words in some of these Latin religions, I like how they made it their own.

[baiaforev]

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

[Daron]

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 am a YORUBA women by blood and identity....just not a Yoruba in religion. Although I have family that practice the Yoruba religion, I can still respect it. 🙂🇳🇬🙂

[TRUTHTEACHER]

Well that's a coincidence. I was just watching a video about Candomle in Brazil, like literally one second ago and now you put this out

[lagosislandlad]

I am not a Nigerian. I am a proud Yoruba man from the former Ijesha Kingdom. We are over 80 million strong and we WILL have our own nation!!!

[natanaeloliveira]

Hey, good job!. I live in northeastern Brazil and although not following this religion I already saw some people practicing these rituals.

[jeffersonneves]

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.
Kisses for all my black brothers n sister from Brazil 🇧🇷
