The Yoruba religious beliefs and practices
originated in Africa in Nigeria and Benin. This is an ancient culture
thousands of years old. Brought to the New World through slavery, it
gave birth to Santeria in Cuba. Because of religious persecution, the
Yoruba syncretised their religion with Catholicism to form what is now known
as Santeria.
This upcoming July, the Avenue 50 Studio will present an art exhibition
celebrating the Yoruba traditions known as Santeria. Our
exhibition will include visual art, bata drumming, and a lecture
on the history and practice of the Yoruba traditions.
