I tried to convert what street dance content is always all about into another different dimension entirely and also representing Yoruba culture out there , in this project I played a role of a gods called “SANGO” , sango is a gods that is being worshipped in Yoruba tribe, Sango is the solar and thunder divinity, the lightning god. His wives were the rivers Awya (the Niger), Oshun, and Obba, who perhaps represented the tornado, the darkness, and the storm clouds. Among his servants were the wind ( Afefe) and the rainbow (Oshumare) whose duty it was to carry up water from the earth to his palace. He is also the god of the chase. Sango, the storm god, was the fourth king of Oyo. He was a tyrannical and powerful man, and so flamboyant that he is said to have sent out clouds of fire and smoke from his mouth. One version of the myth says that Sango discovered a charm by means of which he could call down lightning from heaven, and he went up a hill near the city to try its effect. The charm worked too well: a storm blew up at once, but the lightning descended on Sango's own palace and destroyed it. Most of his wives and children perished in the fire, and Sango was so broken in spirit that he hanged himself on an ayan tree of which wood the axes are made. So I applied the culture and a lil bit of it story into this particular dance project !! This is kinda creative legacy I’ll like to leave behind for the next generations to learn from so they could do better than I ,Please let me know what you feel about these content in the comment section !!
