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.
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 isolationalism, 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, 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 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 posterity. Confident that even if the individual is no longer here, generations to come, will be left a lasting legacy. All Oduduwa's children are precious to him, so we cannot not reciprocate. 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 too 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.
Yep you are on point did you know that Nigerians and slaves from the Niger Delta region were the largest commercial slaves because funny fact - it’s was the quickest area of Africa that could get to Europe, West Indies and USA. If you look at the time difference in these areas it’s very small
How so? African Americans are basically a hedgepod of every ethnic group in West and Central Africa with some minor drops of European white and Native American around.

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.
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.
I love this information you are sharing. I have been to Angola and read lots of its history and African history of the New World. The details you are sharing are unknown to most in the world. Have you considered writing it down in a book? I would be the first to purchase such a document! Thank You! P.S. Information is awareness.
Quilombo de Palmares was a community formed by slaves that runned away from the fields and made a village of their own. And props for them! But both Brasilian and Portuguese know that history 'cause it's part of both Countries History. You forget that Brasil was created by the Portuguese Kingdom that built the first City in Porto Seguro, Recife and by conquering uncharted borderless Territories and building hundreds of Cities during 321 years (1500-1821) became the massive Country it is. You might not know that the Independence of the Portuguese Kingdom of Brasil came at the hands of D.Pedro I the Portuguese King of Brasil that rebelled against his father the King of Portugal in 1821. Brazil is independent for 200 years. But Millions of their Citizens are Portuguese descendents. In the last 100 years Millions of Portuguese and Brasilians have migrated from one Country to another. You forget that Portuguese and Brasilian see eachother like Brothers! We speak the same Language, our cultures are obviously similar. There's agreements between the two Countries to facilitate migration of both Countries Population and Nationality adquiring. Don't try to transport the British Kingdom relation with United States to the relation between Portugal and Brasil that would be plain ignorant!
@@brixcosmo6849 You're talking about Brazil as one single cuture. Every place, every state has it's own cuture. Our cuture is way more diverse than Portuguese culture. What you're saying is the basic that we see at school.
@@Jelisson_Gregorov I have Brasilian and Portuguese family. I know both cultures. And both cultures are diverse. Any Country culture is for that matter. Even more in a massive Country like Brasil. My family is from Recife so that's differente than RJ or SP. But it's Brasilian Culture. That's like comparing who lives in Quebradas with who lives in condos. It's not the same culture but we try to integrate everything together and not segregate. In Portugal for example we integrated a lot of the ex-colonies cultures in our own culture i don't see that for example in Brasil. Here everyone listens to Kizomba, Kuduro, Semba, Morna and also Brasilian Samba, Bossa-Nova, Funk, etc. Everyone eats Feijoada, Muamba and Catchupa. Brasilians it's more their culture 'cause what they've integrated was European Culture on top of Portuguese Culture with Migrations of Italians, Germans, Dutch, etc and it's own culture developted bt them. It's not like Mulatos have African culture. They can identify with it. Anyone can. I'm White and i dance a lot of African dances (Kizomba, Kuduro, Semba, Morna). Its not like the culture of nowadays Angola has anything to do with the millions of slaves that were brought to Brazil 500-600 years ago. There wasn't even Angola back then. And i've been working for Angola and Mozambique as an Architect for more 10 years. My father is Portuguese-Mozambican and worked fir Mozambique and Angola all his life. I was raised in Amadora among a lot of Angolans, Cabo Verdeans, Gunieenses, Indians, Brasilians, etc. Each one had their different cultures that are transmited by their parents or grandparents but in the end we were all Portuguese and had Portuguese Culture. We were all educated in the 80's under a premiss/law that states "Todos Diferentes, Todos Iguais" (All Different, All Equal". Part of Brasilian culture is Portuguese Culture. That was Portugal for 321 years. The same way we integrated a lot of Brasilian Culture 'cause there are something like 500.000 Brasilians in Portugal concentraded in the Biggest Cities. And it was always common on my generation and my parents generation to listen to Brasilian Music, Brasilian Talk Shows like Jo Soares were common. Novelas even more. Not that i see novelas but millions of Portuguese always did at least since i'm young. Then we started to have our own novelas influenced by those. Senhorzinho Malta and Tieta do Agreste are classics from my Youth 😂. And i'm not criticising at all. I love Brasil. I'm not colonialist or racist at all. I was Born in Portugal. My Cousins and Uncles/Aunts were born in Recife. It's not even 'cause of that that i do Capoeira since i was 12. I do it 'cause a lot of my friends did it and they weren't even Brasilians. It's normal here. Just like i did Judo, Karate and Taekwondo. Culture is subjective. I like Seu Jorge, Caetano Veloso, Adriana Calcanhoto, Marisa Monte, Natiruts, Tribalistas, etc. Funk i find it a piece of manure. But both are culture, kind of 😂

All of you that comment on this video months ago should now view what President Puttin has just released(march 2024) concerning African people, then come back here and see if you can reconnect Yoruba to the Bible and to the Deut 28 and to so call Israelites..
@@bofloa tribes are a subgroup of Ethnic groups. Unless Nigeria is an ethnicity, the Yorubas cannot be a tribe of Nigeria, which is a Nationality. Tribes are also often small communities, Yorubas are over 45 million, don't just inhabit Nigeria. 3rd, tribes are somewhat what can br be described as unadvanced. Yorubas are arguably the advanced culture in Africa, having left primitive life behimd 5000 years ago, building organised cities, sophisticated cultures and empires, to become a very successful, highly educated and progressive civilization. Tribes are often from communities where hunting and gathering are common, the Yoruba are agriculturalists and merchants.
I've heard of this. Is that a good thing for a monarachy to exist (in current times)? And does this "claim" erase the Afro-Brazilian people, that are their own unque ethnic group? Afro-Brazilians are related to the Yoruba, but are also related to other African ethnic groups, such as the matrilineal Ambundu, matrilineal BaKongo etc Not just Yorubas. EDIT: Afro Brazilian culture (Candomble, Samba music, Mapouka, Carnival, the power of AfroBrazilian Iyalawos, the fact AfroBrazilian culture which is so dominant over Brazil was built by mostly “peasant” origin racially-enslaved-Africans not “royalty”, etc) being so different from post-colonial-Nigerian-Yoruba-culture is a reality. But also, is the current Ooni a good influence toward Afro-Brazilian youth, especially women & girls, while he participates in polygyny? AfroBrazilian females like all females of the African Enslaved Diaspora continue to battle racism, colorism & misogyny = misogynoir. Do they need to see this current Ooni? There isn’t anything wrong with polygyny in a culture, but should Afro Brazilians see a man, a celebrity who practices polygyny while, said culture immorally/hypothetically denounces Yoruba women’s equal opportunity for polyandry? Also the current Ooni is wrong about the Orishas being gods; because the Orishas are god-like but only Olodumare is god. Not all Ooni practiced polygyny, not all Ooni were men btw.
@@Lindamorena I won't be surprised if this type of comments are being left by all these FBA nutjobs! How about let the Afro Brazilians of the mentioned region speak for themselves! They welcomed the king did they not? By the way, this is not the king's first encounter with them!
He's not attempting to own anything in Brazil. The Yoruba people already there (from the slave trade) are the ones doing any owning. He-being the current king of the first Yoruba monarchy-is just acknowledging them and their territory
@@LuminousSolitude His acknowledging doesn't have any legal impact on the lifes of those supposed "yoruba" brazilians, a myth that only pan-africanists believe.

To be completely frank if somewhat inflammatory I think the only reason this is being seen as a positive thing is due some tribalistic mind set of being good for "your people" but I doubt people from south America would think highly of foreign governments claiming their territory considering their history
@@Thanatos562 I mean… many of them still identify as Yoruba people. Regardless of wether they practice a derivative of Ifa or the 100% authentic way.

@@Lindamorena it’s w that mind set why 5 Chinese ppl can go over there n run Africa too separated one group makes you more powerful Africa is 98% black 2% other groups run it and do better than the natives
@@Lindamorena I couldn't agree with you more. According to Chancellor Williams "what we do deprecatingly call "tribalism" is, in fact, the necessary cohesive and social mechanism for survival and defense against threats to survival." Williams, C. (1971). Destruction of Black Civilization. Chicago: Third World Press.
Tribalism, is defensive. It protects cultures and identity from interlopers, who would want to threaten the existence of a particular community. Tribalism doesn't just spring out of the ether, it comes as a response to perceived encroachment and infringement. The Yoruba people are confronting such a crisis at the Present, in Nigeria, with a tribe of people called the Igbos, who even has the audacity to try to recently capture the modern capital territory of the Yoruba, called Lagos. Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that mistrust and hostility ensues. One thing you can be sure of, is that you cannot educate the Yoruba on how to confront challenges. The culture has survived this long, without interference, they should be instructing you.
@@canicejuniorjuninho8077 Build what????? How come they did not build their african homeland? Using slaves as free labour is no different from using "mules" and horses. Surely, we don't say the horse build the society. The people with the brains and know how made use of horses, machinery and slaves to build something.
Historically speaking, Democrats have said that if your culture is destroyed by settlers, you cannot bitch and complain that your culture is gone because I am 25% Native American and a quarter breed and have been told that my whole life and historical Democrats say your culture has been destroyed. You do not have one.
You’re in the wrong for believing what some politicians have to say about YOUR people and YOUR and YOUR PEOPLE’S CULTURE. The only ones who’d have any real say so in the matter is you and those around you that you want around. And even if you or us don’t follow our people’s cultures we’d still have one because we live and have our beliefs and holidays. Please don’t listen to every politician. They are trying to change history (republicans) and the meaning of words (democrats) to fit their agendas.

Senhorzinho Malta and Tieta do Agreste are classics from my Youth 😂. And i'm not criticising at all. I love Brasil. I'm not colonialist or racist at all. I was Born in Portugal. My Cousins and Uncles/Aunts were born in Recife. It's not even 'cause of that that i do Capoeira since i was 12. I do it 'cause a lot of my friends did it and they weren't even Brasilians. It's normal here. Just like i did Judo, Karate and Taekwondo. Culture is subjective. I like Seu Jorge, Caetano Veloso, Adriana Calcanhoto, Marisa Monte, Natiruts, Tribalistas, etc. Funk i find it a piece of manure. But both are culture, kind of 😂
Maybe it's a mistranslation, but surely there aren't any 'former' slaves in Brazil? Do you mean Brazilians descended from enslaved Africans?
I'll do not just remember my ancestors, I'll live it, for the respect of life is to live it. My ancestors live on, for my tears are tears of joy 😅
Great watch appreciate the information 💯
Kabiyesi,

Wow!
It was about time too!
In the name of our Beloved Ancestors you have taken family to a brand new level!
Welcome Colombo!
Long live the truth and proactiveness!
Wow!
Oye amori!
Long live Yoruba
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 Yorubas of current day Nigeria were the second largest group enslaved to the new world

Exactly
You think you can dive in to the Batahin Tribe? There’s not much covering the tribe, they seem to have both African and Batahin Genitics..
Thanks be to God.

Adriana Lima, while being catholic, also worships the Yoruba god Yemoja
And we worship her! 😂❤🇧🇷🇵🇹
Adriana Lima she is from and possibly has Yoruba blood
She doesn't, where the hell you took this information?
@@oole0111 interviews and even her Wikipedia
@@juliomontoya8214 That's why she could never become a nun, the first liturgic teachings would take those deviations out from her, attending mass isn't the only thing catholics do.
"I'm very spiritual. I believe in nature, I believe in energy, I believe in spirits." - Adriana Lima (from wikipedia too)
This look more like modern white girl theology, than a catholic person, she would probably find herself more in kardecism or Umbanda religion.

How i wish to hear your take on the Netflix's Cleopatra documentary controversy
Thought that crossed my mind. Since our american/ european media lies about almost everything. Is there a controversy? Or is it a european controversy only? I bet you go to egypt and they won't know what your talking about. Just my gut feeling.
Cleopatra is Greek not black!
@@antnam4406Greece had blacks in their civilization. So it is possible she could of been black and from Greece. She also could of been from Kemet (Egypt) Which highly influenced Greek civilization.
Really? So they are still speaking Yoruba and have Yoruba religion?!?! So now we can start our trade and geopolitical colaborations!?
Muito bem! A luta continua!
All of you that comment on this video months ago should now view what President Puttin has just released(march 2024) concerning African people, then come back here and see if you can reconnect Yoruba to the Bible and to the Deut 28 and to so call Israelites..
Good on them then.

Yoruba is an Ethnic group not a tribe.
Karo-ojire.
@@MKRex explaine
@@bofloa tribes are a subgroup of Ethnic groups. Unless Nigeria is an ethnicity, the Yorubas cannot be a tribe of Nigeria, which is a Nationality.
Tribes are also often small communities, Yorubas are over 45 million, don't just inhabit Nigeria.
3rd, tribes are somewhat what can br be described as unadvanced. Yorubas are arguably the advanced culture in Africa, having left primitive life behimd 5000 years ago, building organised cities, sophisticated cultures and empires, to become a very successful, highly educated and progressive civilization.
Tribes are often from communities where hunting and gathering are common, the Yoruba are agriculturalists and merchants.
Haha might as well declare Peckham in south east London as Yoruba territory too
I hope he does.
Like Nigeria was claimed by the UK at some point? Seems fair
@@lrodrigues7488 but the British actually conquered Nigeria
@@user-bs5qr5ie4s and Yoruba conquered south east London
@@AfricanMaverick I know right
I've heard of this. Is that a good thing for a monarachy to exist (in current times)? And does this "claim" erase the Afro-Brazilian people, that are their own unque ethnic group? Afro-Brazilians are related to the Yoruba, but are also related to other African ethnic groups, such as the matrilineal Ambundu, matrilineal BaKongo etc Not just Yorubas.
EDIT: Afro Brazilian culture (Candomble, Samba music, Mapouka, Carnival, the power of AfroBrazilian Iyalawos, the fact AfroBrazilian culture which is so dominant over Brazil was built by mostly “peasant” origin racially-enslaved-Africans not “royalty”, etc) being so different from post-colonial-Nigerian-Yoruba-culture is a reality. But also, is the current Ooni a good influence toward Afro-Brazilian youth, especially women & girls, while he participates in polygyny? AfroBrazilian females like all females of the African Enslaved Diaspora continue to battle racism, colorism & misogyny = misogynoir. Do they need to see this current Ooni? There isn’t anything wrong with polygyny in a culture, but should Afro Brazilians see a man, a celebrity who practices polygyny while, said culture immorally/hypothetically denounces Yoruba women’s equal opportunity for polyandry? Also the current Ooni is wrong about the Orishas being gods; because the Orishas are god-like but only Olodumare is god. Not all Ooni practiced polygyny, not all Ooni were men btw.
Afro Brazilian are also related to Angolans and Congo people's
It's doesn't erase, only drawing out ties closer.
Eu sou da Bahia me relaciono apenas aos iorubas
@@Lindamorena I won't be surprised if this type of comments are being left by all these FBA nutjobs!
How about let the Afro Brazilians of the mentioned region speak for themselves! They welcomed the king did they not? By the way, this is not the king's first encounter with them!
@@user-bs5qr5ie4s I am Afro-Brazilian and my culture is close to Nigerian , Benin,Yoruba, without much connection with Angolan or Congolese
All talk & no action he will own nothing in Brazil.
Just like AAs
He's not attempting to own anything in Brazil. The Yoruba people already there (from the slave trade) are the ones doing any owning. He-being the current king of the first Yoruba monarchy-is just acknowledging them and their territory
erh, why would he want to own anything in brazil? this is a show of solidarity and outreach to yoruba descendants not a colonisation attempt
Why are you mad 😂
@@LuminousSolitude His acknowledging doesn't have any legal impact on the lifes of those supposed "yoruba" brazilians, a myth that only pan-africanists believe.
🤣
To those one who want to know about the capoeira roots there is this documentary:
Portuguese version: ua-cam.com/video/HD2PPxL6-j8/v-deo.html
Englishi version: ua-cam.com/video/e2BNDDMA7Pk/v-deo.html
But do the black people there want to be part of his kingdom, surely after centuries there identity of yoruba has been lost?
did you watch the same video? It hasn’t been lost, they have their own derivative of Ifa in Brazil and other places in the Americas
@@dablaccseaproductions5279exactly their own derivative as in not the same you do not get to claim another countries territory due to some vague bloodline claim from the past trust me bad people have and are using that justification rn from a practical view the claim is a joke as he doesn't have the ability to actually enforce it
To be completely frank if somewhat inflammatory I think the only reason this is being seen as a positive thing is due some tribalistic mind set of being good for "your people" but I doubt people from south America would think highly of foreign governments claiming their territory considering their history
@@Thanatos562 I mean… many of them still identify as Yoruba people. Regardless of wether they practice a derivative of Ifa or the 100% authentic way. In fact they’d probably be proud to see him, their King. Furthermore I don’t think the Ooni has bad intentions connecting with them, I feel that you’re reaching here but I understand the sentiment from a historical level, the situations are still very different I can’t lie.
I honestly don’t think he’s planning to take over a huge portion of Brazil or run the whole of South America tbh. Its not that deep
Africa must get rid of the tribal differences it should belong to Africa no just the youroba
Tribalism preserves culture. You can belong to more than one group at one time
@@Lindamorena it’s w that mind set why 5 Chinese ppl can go over there n run Africa too separated one group makes you more powerful Africa is 98% black 2% other groups run it and do better than the natives
@@Lindamorena I couldn't agree with you more. According to Chancellor Williams "what we do deprecatingly call "tribalism" is, in fact, the necessary cohesive and social mechanism for survival and defense against threats to survival." Williams, C. (1971). Destruction of Black Civilization. Chicago: Third World Press.
I am Brazilian and I feel related only to Yoruba ancestral culture
Tribalism, is defensive. It protects cultures and identity from interlopers, who would want to threaten the existence of a particular community. Tribalism doesn't just spring out of the ether, it comes as a response to perceived encroachment and infringement.
The Yoruba people are confronting such a crisis at the Present, in Nigeria, with a tribe of people called the Igbos, who even has the audacity to try to recently capture the modern capital territory of the Yoruba, called Lagos. Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that mistrust and hostility ensues.
One thing you can be sure of, is that you cannot educate the Yoruba on how to confront challenges. The culture has survived this long, without interference, they should be instructing you.
So are the Yoruba planning to invade Brazil and reclaim their territory or just whine & complain about what they lost? 🤦🏾♂️
They are not reclaiming anything they never controlled it
How can they reclaim something they never had control off🤦🏾♂️
Fool 😂
You cannot claim a land you did not conquer. Yoruba people were brought there as chattels. Only the Portuguese conquerors can claim it.
is our forefathers that build that shit for portuguese
@@canicejuniorjuninho8077 Build what????? How come they did not build their african homeland? Using slaves as free labour is no different from using "mules" and horses. Surely, we don't say the horse build the society. The people with the brains and know how made use of horses, machinery and slaves to build something.

Historically speaking, Democrats have said that if your culture is destroyed by settlers, you cannot bitch and complain that your culture is gone because I am 25% Native American and a quarter breed and have been told that my whole life and historical Democrats say your culture has been destroyed.

You’re in the wrong for believing what some politicians have to say about YOUR people and YOUR and YOUR PEOPLE’S CULTURE. The only ones who’d have any real say so in the matter is you and those around you that you want around. And even if you or us don’t follow our people’s cultures we’d still have one because we live and have our beliefs and holidays. Please don’t listen to every politician. They are trying to change history (republicans) and the meaning of words (democrats) to fit their agendas.
