Yoruba praise and worship songs are a very special part of the culture. They are believed to have been brought to Nigeria by the slave traders who came from Ghana. The Yoruba people quickly adopted them because they were so beautiful, and today they are still sung in churches all over Nigeria.
This blog is aimed to gather and showcase popular praise and worship songs in Yoruba language. The recent revelation of the translation of the bible into Yoruba language by Wycliffe Bible Translators, United States has made it possible for millions of Yorubas across the globe to study their bible in their own mother tongue.
These songs are usually sung in Yoruba, but some versions have been translated into English so that more people can learn them. If you like traditional African music, you should definitely check out these songs!
