Brazilian Yorubas

The Brazilian Yorubas are descendants of the Yoruba people of West Africa, primarily from present-day Nigeria and Benin, who were brought to Brazil through the transatlantic slave trade between the 16th and 19th centuries. Today, their cultural, religious, and linguistic heritage remains influential in various aspects of Brazilian society, especially in the northeast region, notably in the state of Bahia.
