ABOUT US

Mama Oriki is more than performers, we are the custodians of an enduring legacy. Rooted in over four decades of dedication to African heritage, we stand as a living bridge between the wisdom of our ancestors and the generations of tomorrow. Through the transformative arts of Ewi, Oríkì, traditional music, dance, and storytelling, we bring the depth, spiritual power, and vibrant beauty of Yoruba culture to audiences across Nigeria, Africa, and the global diaspora.

MAMA ORIKI

For over four decades, Ayo Ewebiyi, affectionately known as Mama Oriki, has served as a vital bridge between generations by preserving and celebrating Yoruba cultural heritage. Through her mastery of poetry, Ewi, Oríkì, music, dance, and storytelling, she has shared the depth of ancestral wisdom across Nigeria, Africa, the Caribbean, and the global diaspora. As indigenous languages and traditions face the threat of disappearing in today's fast-paced world, her work ensures that African spirituality, identity, and history remain vibrant and accessible.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

To advance this vital work, Mama Oriki launches projects that produce high-quality cultural music videos, starting with "Olókun L'ọba Omi" a powerful production designed to serve as a lasting cultural archive for future generations. Achieving this vision requires partnership and financial support from individuals, institutions, and lovers of African heritage to cover expenses such as professional audio production, cinematography, choreography, and global distribution. Every contribution directly invests in safeguarding a priceless legacy and ensuring the voice of our ancestors continues to resonate worldwide.
