The Yoruba are a stunning people, renowned for their exquisite urban centers, fashionable clothing, and rich cultural traditions. As a people, one of their defining characteristics is a penchant for social gatherings known as owambe.
It is considered proper etiquette to wear an aso-ebi at a formal owambe celebration. If you stick to these guidelines, you can enter the event feeling confident in your appearance. The aso-ebi are so fantastic that incorporating them into your party outfit won't be a problem.
Westerners are huge fans of owambes and tend to throw parties for just about any major life event. Events like having a baby, losing a loved one, getting married, or buying a new car can all be considered significant in one's life.
Owambe is able to bring together people of all cultural backgrounds so that they can share in the celebration of sharing a meal, dancing, and listening to music. Until an owambe party takes occurred on a Saturday or Sunday, a Nigerian weekend is not considered complete.
