Aeregbe

Yoruba Etymology Possibly from yo aéré gbé farmhouse, hut. Compare with Ondo yo Aghéégbé, Ọwọ, Idanre yo Aghérégbé. Multiple independent oral histories assert that the festival was exported from the kingdom of yo Ọ̀bà-Ilé. This perhaps suggests that this festival is a remnant of Ọ̀bà-Ilé cultural influence on its neighbors, before the establishment of kingdoms like yo Àkúrẹ́, yo Adó, yo Ìdànrè, and yo Oǹdó, as well as Benin influence, which reduced its influence. Pronunciation Aérégbé Proper noun Aérégbé yo Èkìtì an ancient festival celebrated in certain yo Èkìtì towns including yo Àkúrẹ́, yo Adó, and others, and is mainly characterized by the consumption of yo àkàrà. yo Sìbí ọdún Elérègè Related terms yo sìbí traditional dance performed during Aérégbé yo èsìbí yo Ọlụ́a a deity worshipped during Aeregbe festivals in some towns yo ègè yo àkàrà yo Holidays
