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.

Hi, I’m a professor of world religions at Montclair State University in New Jersey in the USA. I’ve written a textbook on world religions and am adding a chapter on African religions. I would love to include some of your photos in the section where I talk about Yoruban religion. The images are all “locked” in the software so that students can’t download or copy them. I would of course give proper credit and can provide a link to your website. Would this use be OK with you? Thanks, Cynthia
