So What is Aso-Ebí ?

Aso in Yoruba Means Cloth or Fabric…Whilst Ebí Means Family or Relatives…

Aso-Ebí has been an integral part of the Traditional and Cultural Practice of the Yoruba People from Ancient times…When family members adorn the same Cloth or Fabric for Special occasions like Traditional Marriages, Festivals, Birthdays, Burials, House Warming, Naming Ceremonies etc…

This original practice was really to depict Unity, Identity, Social Inclusion, Support, Love etc with the Family, Groups or Associations…However in Mordern times the Practice has extended across Africa & the rest of the World, now including Groups of Friends, Township Associations, Childhood Peers, Classmates, Professional Groups, Work Colleagues etc…
