"The Yoruba language must not die."
In this episode of the Languages Through Music podcast, Desta welcomes Professor Ajibade and his daughter Bisola to discuss the significance of the Yoruba language and culture.

The conversation also touches on the impact of Afrobeat music on language learning, favorite Yoruba artists, and the wisdom found in Yoruba proverbs.

Kadialy has taught the kora at SOAS, University of London, for the last decade and he has also been involved in countless musical projects both as a collaborator and a session musician. He toured with the RSC’s production of Julius Caesar and other theatre projects include working at the London Globe Theatre on a show called We The People as well as touring three children theatre projects with the renowned Oily Cart.
