OLODUM - ADULT TEE

Olodum is a term used in the Lukumi Yoruba tradition, prevalent in Bahia, Brazil, where the majority of the population claims African ancestry. It refers to the supreme deity, Olodumare, and is often used as a shortened form of reverence. During his time in Salvador, Michael Jackson immersed himself in the local culture, seeking out Ifa adherents who utilized drums in their worship and music. He was particularly drawn to the Olodum collective, a group that promotes African heritage and cultural preservation.
