Asa is the Yoruba word for Culture.   During the Asa festival many functions take place.   Recently at the Oketase World Ifa Temple, Ile-Ife, Nigeria, the Asa Festival took place featuring Yoruba dancing, drumming, singing and a theatrical performance.   The Asa festival focuses on Yoruba dress and style.  This style is unique to the Yoruba people.  It was exciting for all to see and a great learning experience for those looking to learn more and enjoy the Asa of Ife-Ife, Nigeria.

Orishada.com recognizes the large contribution of Awotunde Aworeni, Asiwaju Ijo Orunmila Ile-Ife, in making the Asa Festival for this year possible.
