What does the name "Yedégbé" represent?

The name is taken from three words in the language of Fon, from the

region of Dahomey (now known as Benin). "Yedégbé" means "with the

approvals of the spirits": after they (the deities and major forces

of their pantheon) gather to decide (or grant) that something is

ready and prepared to happen. Through this project we will try to

bring back and unify the legacy that is still alive and practiced

all through the Pan-African region (including Cuba, Haiti, Dominican

Republic, Brasil, Puerto Rico, Benin and elsewhere). About the

Yedegbe Project
