Yoruba App
My 70 year old mum worked on an app for learning Yoruba called Ede Yoruba Dotun. It teaches the language through structured lessons, Yoruba music, and traditional poetry.
It's free on Android. Please download and let me know what you think.

Ashe Ashe
Today, I was given the transmission of Ashe Ashe through word and exchange. The woman who explained to me the meaning of it, i learned and felt its power behind this saying. It was beautiful and im grateful to recieve this saying.
How can i honor this phrase? Am i allowed to participate in the practice of this word? Is this now appropriation if I practice the intent behind this phrase as a POC not of Yoruba lineage.
I made an app for creating Nigerian music and Afrobeats
Hey everyone i'm a Nigerian developer and I made an app that lets people create Nigerian style music.
Would love it if you guys could give it a try and I’d appreciate any feedback on how I could improve it.
Yoruba song in Poésie de mots inconnu
Hello!
I am writing a commentary on a 1949 of "Poetry in Unknown Words," which largely consists of dada gibberish and sound poetry, but the first selection is clearly a Yoruba song—which I imagine is perfectly sensible.
Could someone help me identify the source of this song (or these three songs, if they're separate)? And could someone provide a translation, or point me toward an anthology that might include one (if this is a major work)? I'd be happy to note your contribution!
Thank you in advance!
