Baba
Ayo
Adeyemi
is
a
master of Djembe, Djun djun, Bell and Conga.
He is a
Shaman
Priest
of
Ifa.
(The
Religion
of
the
Yoruba
People).
Until
Baba
Ayo
came
to
the
USA
and
began
teaching
these
rhythms,
a
person
needed
to
be
initiated
into
a
very
secret
sect
of
Ifa
in
order
to
learn
to drum these songs.
These
rhythms
are
the secret
soul
of
Ifa.
By
learning
these
rhythms,
you
are
able
to
call
down
powerful,
sacred
energies
for
healing
and
transformation.

"Rumba" comes from the Yoruba "Iruwo Iba" which
means "Welcome to all of the Dieties" When
Spaniards first heard Yoruba slaves say "Iruwo Iba"
in reference to this style of music, they heard it
as "Rumba". "Eja Osan" is a powerful song of
transformation used to manifest desires. As well as
being a really fun dance tune, it is also a
powerful ritual song of Ifa. (* must be able to
make basic bass, tones and slaps on hand drum)
