About the event
Join us for a powerful evening of Unconsecrated Bata Drumming in honor of Ṣàngó, as we celebrate the initiation anniversary of David Neri-Obajonko, a cherished member of Ile Ọ̀rò. This open gathering welcomes everyone wishing to mark this special occasion with rhythm, joy, and community spirit.
Ṣàngó, the Orìṣà of thunder, lightning, and fire, is a divine force of power, justice, and transformation. A revered king of the ancient Oyo Empire, he is honored through drumming, dance, and fearless expression. In uplifting his spirit, we also honor truth, courage, and the vibrant energy of collective joy.
Through the heartbeat of the drum, we’ll uplift the energy of Ṣàngó and honor Obajonko's journey with gratitude and celebration. There are no ritual obligations—just a space to connect, move, and rejoice in the power of music and collective energy.
Come ready to dance, sing, and celebrate this vibrant milestone with us!
