We’re back! And we’re going to be on your feed more than normal this month because it is Black History Month and K has a lot they want to cover!
In this episode, K gives Warren a crash course on different forms of Yoruban Rituals before they watch videos on Egungun and Gelede. They discuss the views from the book Black Theatre: Ritual Performance in the African Diaspora and K forgets how many days are in the month of February during a leap year!
