i am descendent of yoruba people, my grand-grand parents were africans. Here in Sergipe we have an old brotherhood called "Irmandade Nagô Santa Barbara Virgem", founded by Ojo, an african man. Everybody knows Bahia and Rio de Janeiro, y'all need to know Sergipe, Maranhão, Pernambuco, Alagoas... There are many black manifestations in Brasil.

I live in the UK. I noticed urge Yoruba culture and language impact in South Eastern London. For Yoruba culture to still exist largely in Brazil, Cuba, Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela, and Southern States in the US ( A Yoruba village called Oyotunji is said to exist in South Carolina). It showed that Yoruba must be a resilient and resistant culture. Being a lover of Afrobeats, I could hear and see Yoruba major influence in the genre, too. Perhaps there are many other areas that still need to be studied about the Yoruba culture, , arts, spirituality, and philosophy.

Not only Afro Brazilians but Afro Cubans and Trinidadians have especially been influenced by Yoruba culture

We can see the Yoruba cuture in our foods, words, religion, music, names of things and places. Brazilian portugese has thousands of word in Tupi (native language), many words in yoruba, kikongo, kibundo.
The word capoeira comes from the Tupi language and it means " what use to be a forest". Those places was used by the slaves to train this martial art, but this word was used to many diferent kinds of fights, even the indigenous fights.

The unique aspect of Yoruba civilization, is an ability to embrace the new and adapt it to fit the Yoruba ethos or ideology, Yoruba culture is not threatened by the unknown or different, it is curious, so instead of panicking to build a wall around itself and isolate, it says "how can this new idea, religion, situation, technology, art or practice, compliment our way of life".

It means there is no fear for the new, but also means that all people can see a commonality, between themselves and a culture that should ordinarily be alien to them. It means instead of Yorubas know how to adapt things to become Yoruba, not the other way round.

For instance, with religion, it is not unusual to see the Yoruba adapt Islam, Christianity or any ideology into a Yoruba version accessible to all Yoruba, which means that such ideologies, become neutralise, becoming part of the pluralism of Yoruba thought. The advantage being that in the long run, Yorubaness takes precedence over all things, for all Yoruba individuals, so you are Yoruba, before nationality, religion, gender, political affiliation, sexuality, wealth, education name it, all differences will be set aside for the common wealth and common good.

It is this ingenuity of assimilation that led Samuel Ajayi Crowther the first African Bishop, also Yoruba scholar and linguist, who was enslaved at the age of 12, to translate the English Bible into Yoruba, leading to a golden age of literacy and enlightenment, a stroke of genuis, which not only made the Bible accessible to all, but provided an insight into the inner workings of an ideology, that was easily used to subjugate others.

It is this worldview, that is at the heart of even a person with one drop of Yoruba blood, a common thread that unifies across borders and continents, that this ancient and yet living culture, requires a level of devotion and care, that must preserve it into eternity. Confident that even if the individual is no longer here, generations to come, will be left a lasting legacy.

Yoruba culture never feels threatened, not out of arrogant confidence, but because people do the work to maintain it, it never feels jealous or covetous of others, because the Yoruba are busy fortifying their heritage to pay attention to others, it never faces hostility from others, because it does not impose itself on others. Yoruba culture is like an entity of its own, it is self aware and its reach is as far as it's heart is large and it's intentions good.

Long may Oduduwa live in all his children.

Yes my grandmother was 40% nigerian, her biggest ethnic group by far. Lousiana usa.

Those communities still exist in Brazil and there's one of them close to here called Quilombo de Coqueiros.
The quilombo called Palmares was in the begining a tribe of the Potiguara people. They helped the africans who was runing away from a farm close an give them shelter. Palmares has a lot of different people like former slaves, indigenous people, portugueses and Dutches.

Off topic, but I would love to see you do a video on the African high eunuchs of the Ottoman Empire! Keep up your great work.

The British still can’t understand how our beautiful language Yoruba is still effective and very influential in Africa.

We are unapologetic we speak and love our language . That’s why you hear many Afrobeat artists trying to infuse the language into their songs .

Our language will never go into extinction we are strong stubborn and resilient in all ramifications of life .

Please consider using a more traditional font for the on screen citations. It’s too small & the letters are difficult to make out.
