Ayubu (meaning perseverance) Kamau (meaning quiet warrior)

Baba Ayubu Bakari Kamau founded the Ayalode (pronounced Ay-ya-low-day) and Iantunga (pronounced Eye-an-tunga) Sacred Afrikan Drum and Dance Society in 1993.  In 1996 the group was renamed as the Ayubu Kamau Sacred Afrikan Drum and Dance Society in honor of Baba Ayubu’s life contributions.   Baba Ayubu passed away on September 20^th, 1995.

The purpose and function of the society was to re-establish and exemplify African music and dance as an essential part of community life and harmony with self, the environment and the spiritual bond with our ancestors.

For the past sixteen years the Ayubu Kamau Sacred Afrikan Drum and Dance Society has performed throughout the United States and is committed to exude the beauty, resilience and integrity of the Diaspora of African Culture in music, dance, education and evolution.  In 1994 a youth focused group was formed and continues to grow under the direction of Iya Ile (pronounced Ee-yah  Ee-lay) and Baba Kwasi (pronounced Bah-bah  Kway-see)..
