African gods in South Carolina: a Yoruban village celebrates African culture in the Americas - Oyotunji African Village welcomes all who want to experience the ancestorial traditions of West Africa Essence, Dec, 1995 by Cheo Tyehimba
A peacock's piercing whine echoes faintly behind pounding drumbeats as a dozen African villagers dance in a circle and call forth their Yoruban ancestors. Colorful masked dancers representing the ancestors, or egunguns, emerge and spirit-walk to the call of chants. The music of cowbells and drums swells as the egunguns wave to their living family members and symbolically depart to the Kingdom of the Dead. The annual Egungun Festival at the Oyotunji African Village is in full swing. Nestled deep among the live oaks and palmetto trees of eastern South Carolina, just 65 miles south of Charleston's airport, lies the Oyotunji African Village. As the only traditional African village in America, Oyotunji comes complete with a king (high priest and ruler), a council of chiefs and village people. The sign on the tall wooden entrance gate reads: Welcome to Oyotunji. You Are Entering Into Another Realm. In the Name of Our Ancestors, We Welcome You.
