What an evening.

Still trying to process everything, honestly.

Sounds of Alálè at J. Randle Centre for Yorùbá Culture and History held it down beautifully, a space that doesn’t just host culture, it breathes it. And honestly, that’s what made the night hit even harder… being in a place that fully stands for this.

This recap can’t even capture half of what Sounds of Alálè felt like.

To everyone who showed up and made the night what it was — we felt you ❤️

Next one… we’ll see.

Some sounds carry more than rhythm — they carry history, spirit, and memory.

On May 17, 2026, we gather for an experience rooted in chants, praise, tradition, and the living voice of our ancestors.

Sounds of Alálè is for those who feel deeply connected to Yorùbá culture, Ìṣẹ̀ṣe, and the power of traditional expression.

Last year gave people something to talk about.
This year, the energy will speak for itself.

There are only a few seats available. Send a DM to make bookings or visit the Centre to get your tickets before it finishes. Ticket sales will close soon.
Be there to feel it live.
