As planning and preparation for the maiden edition of Drum Festival (Ayan-Agalu Festival) peak, Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has given reason for his support for the festival.
He said the project was a laudable event geared toward revival of African culture and Yoruba cultural heritage.
“I am proud of you and your team for this noble and legendary initiative aimed at revamping our indigenous tradition and culture from a state of near oblivion to a realm of global pedestal of fame, relevance and glory,” he said.
The theme is the festival “Rejigging Yoruba Cultural Heritage as Catalyst for National Unity, Progress and Development – The Ayangalu Example will take place at Fuzion Banquet Hall, 1300 Britannia Road E, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada by 8pm.
Segun Akanni, publisher of The Drum Online Media Incorporation is the convener of the festival.
Akanni said the decision to extend invitation to Governor Adeleke was based on the fact that he is number one citizen of Osun State, a premier Yoruba enclave that harbours Ile-Ife, the ancestral abode of all Yoruba people, where Ayan-Agalu originates from.
