Ogun's Melody: Learning Yoruba through State Anthems

Hello, enthusiastic learners and cultural explorers of Lede Yoruba!

As we step into the first month of 2024, get ready for an exciting journey of linguistic and cultural discovery. In our stories, we'll embark on a unique venture—learning Yoruba with the lyrics and melodies of state anthems. Our starting point is the anthem "Iṣẹ́ yá," the anthem of Ogun State. For our movie feature, we'll learn Yoruba as two sisters engage in a discussion about cars and the importance of sticking to one's own car. Let's kick off the new year with a burst of Yoruba language and cultural exploration!
