@@SICStudios If you have added Yoruba to the title, It could have had more view. We understand all Yoruba speaks own dialect but all is still Yoruba. when people search for Yoruba dance it may not pop up at the top. Is a nice video and better than most of the video on UA-cam.
I love this video! A majority of my DNA is Yoruba Benin. I’m learning so much about my ancestors right now. What is the fur covered wand looking implement they carry?
Thank you so much The Fur is a symbol of royalty and a tradition implement that royalties carry along. Perhaps an origin of the clan can do better justice to the fur Thanks again.
Ti mo ba tun aye wa, Yoruba ni maa ya. All of us have spoken English and tired. We have seen where the nonsense English have landed us. Oduduwa all the way. I'm watching from Texas USA.
Hello Leah. Nice that you enjoyed this beautiful dance. How are you and family? It will be nice to connect with you again. Things are better for me now with medicines stopping at some point. God be with you, amen. Much Love.
Thank you for your enquiry. Ile-Oluji is a kingdom in Ondo State NIGERIA founded in 1373 and has many diverse cultures and traditions (a way of life), the dance is a cultural dance that depicts the heritage and practices of the warm people of Ile-Oluji kingdom. There are various dance groups in the video and all have a separate meaning and purpose, there are cultural drummers who perform only for kingsmen and others for general entertainment, yet there are others that details how marriage and family formation is crafted... For more information, I'd encourage you to take time to visit the Kingdom, I bet you'd love their King (Jegun Oluekun Oba Julius Adetimehin)
The truth of the matter is there is already culture mix here, there is no use of talking drum in the history of Ondo and Ekiti people drums and dance. It is purely an Oyo thing, the drumming pattern of this traditional dance should be different i believe.
Are you forgetting that Oyo was an empire and the children of the king-emperor then went to establish kingdoms around southwest and to outside Nigeria which are now all Yoruba.
@@musicearthtoheaven8793 Oyo was an empire that collapsed eventually with little to no affect on Ekiti and Ondo (this is written in history books). Infact, many traditional dances in Ekiti still don't use the talking drum
@@musicearthtoheaven8793 hence why I said ‘little’ affect. Listen to true traditional ondo and ekiti music, you’d see they were mainly neural when it came to influence from empires (oyo and Benin empire had a small influence on them) . I studied this topic for one of my assignments.
@@musicearthtoheaven8793 what they speak in Ekiti and Ondo nowadays which is being watered down to standard Oyo yoruba has nothing to do with the former Oyo empire. My grandmas father spoke ekiti and it’s distinct.
Please do not let this die, needs to be preserved at all cost.
Nigeria is so rich in culture, I have to be here for my next tour. Please someone should hint me about this cultural activity, and when does it hold?
This is it. Tunmise was good at this!
1 of the best yoruba traditional dance, we have.
Just Thank you @Sicstudios
I’m from Ekiti, I love this, this is the best Yoruba dance on UA-cam ❤️

Thanks again.
I might not be able to give a detailed explanation, but the fur in #Yoruba represents Royalty and importance.
Am proud to be a black, I love the traditional dance

Good job
Very similar to Ondo town.

They are not ondo town.... ileoluji
@@oluwatimilehinmary2081Ondo, Ile oluji and idanre belong to the Ondo strain of yoruba
Same dialect. @@oluwatimilehinmary2081

There is similarity with the ltsekiri dance though they don't role on the ground.
