Ogun (pronounced Ogún) is the inventor of spiritual festivals.
Ogun is a spirit that appears in several African cultures. He invented an event that serves as the core of the Olojo Festival and that is the celebration of the remembrance of 'Ogun', master of Iron, who is believed to be the first son of Oduduwa, progenitor of the Yoruba people.
As the chief locus of the early Brazilian slave trade, Bahia is considered to possess the greatest and most distinctive African imprint, in terms of culture and customs, in Brazil. These include the Yoruba-derived culture system of Candomblé, the capoeira (martial art emerged in Quilombo dos Palmares, located in the state of Alagoas ), African-derived music such as samba (especially Brazlian samba precursor, the samba-de-roda), afoxé, and axé with strong links to western Africa.
