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).
