Interestingly, owambe just means ‘to belong’ and Yorubas and even other tribes use such parties to show that they belong to the high society.
Owambes are parties that happen whenever there is a celebration and even a death – as long as the dead person was aged.
If you don’t have a live band, you might as well be clapping with your hands and singing music unaccompanied by any instruments. A vibrant live band is a must for any owambe.
