Cultural ambassador to the Alaafin of Oyo, Dr Paula Gomes, has declared that the World Sango Festival (WSF) will be the best thing to happen to Yoruba culture.
In a chat with media men in Oyo this week,the Alaafin, Oba Adeyemi III, was said to have gone far with the planning of the WSF which will also involve all other Isese people, i.e Obatala, Oya, Osun, Ifa and Ogun.
“The festival is a generic festival of the Yoruba people across the South West, including Benin and Kwara states. Don’t forget that the Igbominas in Kwara are sons and daughters of Orangun Aga, who is the fourth child of Oduduwa”, added Gomes.
The Event and Media Consultants for the festival, Logica Media Group’s Chief Biodun Ajiboye, informed that all crannies of Yoruba land had been combed, and information about the festival had reached many on the need to see WSF as a Yoruba festival.
He added that the Alaafin had contacted King Sunny Ade (KSA) and Wasiu Ayinde Marshal (K1) to coordinate the 100 artistes that will perform at the August festival.
“The plan will, indeed, position Nigeria positively among the commity of nations. The Yoruba in Brazil, Cuba and the United States, are excited to come to Nigeria, to Oyo, their ancestral home. It is a great leap in our cultural advancement”, added Gomes.
