Exclusive to Ilè foods are three prints by Ayanmuyiwa Ayandare Adeniran celebrating the joy of Yoruba culture.

 

The use of the 'Sekere' instrument as a head in his artwork is symbolic of the Yoruba people's deep-rooted loved for music and the arts, which are considered an integral part of their daily lives.

 

'I express my feelings, thoughts, and those of the people around me using 'Sekere' as a symbol of hope and joy.'

 

There is a Yoruba saying: 'Sekere o kin bawon rode ibanuje'. 

This translates to 'Sekere does not go to a place where people are moaning or weeping'.
