An institution is, in the end, a name. The Logunleko Ifá Archives bear the name of a man whose work — across a lifetime in service of Ifá, of Yorùbá tradition, and of the long project of preservation that this issue’s accompanying piece on the Archives describes — earned that bearing.
This video is presented here as the inaugural item in what we hope will become a continuing tribute series — a way for the Journal to keep faith with the elders whose work made the contemporary Òrìṣà renaissance possible, and whose names should remain present in the consciousness of the practitioners and scholars who follow.
