My yoruba people(immigrant) in south america,this thread is dedicated to you,how is yoruba culture embraced over there?,how do yoruba-brazilian relate with other yoruba's....this thread is born out of my love for a united yoruba nation.

The Yoruba, in South America not only arrived in Brazil, but many countries. Perhaps countries with greater cultural weight Yoruba, are Brazil and Cuba. In San Salvador (Bahia, Brazil) are kept alive many traditions Yoruba, in relation to culture, food, religion, etc..

Thank you very much for your kindness, dear friend!
I live in Montevideo, capital of Uruguay.
The first arrivals of African groups corresponded to Angola.
It was no coincidence the type of ethnic group that arrived in each country, as countries with large plantations of sugar cane, coffee, cotton, mine production, they needed labor with very strong physically. In the case of Uruguay, the assignments were limited to cooperation in the agricultural and livestock, as well as collaboration with domestic chores. For this reason (the slaves lived with their masters), one can speak of a deal much more "humanized" to slaves in other countries. There is another important phenomenon: that kind of work did not allow the grandees concentrations of slaves, which added to the coexistence with the white slave allowed to more easily integrate into society.
In a beautiful paper published by the University of the Republic (Uruguay), I have read the diary of a nineteenth century slave, in narrating the various ceremonies performed, celebrations, and the existence of "brotherhoods" of each ethnic group , who had their King and his Queen, whose purpose was to help the captive brothers to win freedom, and free, in case of illness, death of relatives, etc..
The group had its space Nago, and although a minority, greatly helped in building the history of this country.
Unfortunately, no desccendientes of African ethnic group preserves the tradition of African names. But many of their African traditions are still practiced, and not just part of black culture, but part of Uruguayan culture, which have also joined whites.

I commented that the word "tango" (the traditional Uruguayan music) comes from the corruption of the word "Tambor" -drum- (Tambo), with a typical strain of African phonetics applied to the Spanish language.
In a time of year, the various African ethnic groups, sounded their drums from early in the morning, announcing public one another, for it was a great annual parade in which each group presented its "drumming" traditional. This annual celebration is known as "Llamadas" (call, ), and is repeated every year until the present, is that one of the craziest appreciated by the Uruguayans, and of course, has African roots.
I hope my bad English I have allowed you to understand something ... If not, please ask you
I need a collaboration yours, if you have knowledge of Yoruba language ...
I have in my possession the original songs written in Yoruba, with which the slaves worshiped their Orisa. I need to know the type of variety used in these songs. Is it possible?
I am at your service, and would like more fluid contact with you.
An affectionate greeting of his friend Uruguay.

Let me LECTURE U ABOUT AFRICAN HISTORY FLAT HEAD. SA UNIVERSITY AREN'T RANKED IN TOP 10 IN AFRICA FOR NOTHING. Europeans looked down on Igbo slaves especially males as they were lazy,suicidal and dumb

Kongo Kingdom supplied the largest number of Slaves to
USA=Angola-Congo 35%-40%, West Africa 55%-60% mainly Senegambia
Cuba=40% Angola-Congo
Haiti=Angola-Congo 50%
Brazil=Angola-Congo 70%and Suriname=Angola-Congo 40%
and other small Carribean islands Bahamas,Caricao,St Kitts,St Thomas.

In these areas/countries mentioned above they imported more ANGOLA-CONGO SLAVES than any other African region.FACT.

NOTE: Europeans liked Angola-Congolese for STAMINA and hardowrk hence they were mainly used for GANG LABOUR. While for HOUSE NEGRO work Europeans liked Senegambians.
