About this show

When the slave ships docked in North America, Brazil, and the Caribbean, hundreds of cultures, traditions and religions landed with the Africans on board. Against all-odds, the Yoruba culture of West Africa transcended slavery beyond imaginations and remain alive in the New World. From Lagos to Bahia, Harlem to Havana—the enduring legacy of Yoruba culture lives on in the Americas.
