What is ODDUA? The word Oddua is derived from the Yoruban language, meaning “The end and the beginning.” The word also stems from “Oduduwa Ogun” (The patron deity of warriors and metalworkers, who is an orisha (saint) in the Yoruban Culture. Because change is the essence of the universe, there is always and end to things. And at that end, is a new beginning. This is the philosophy of ODDUA.
In 2006, Oddua Records was formed by Allegra Bandy and Heather Licini to produce musical works, such as the album “Sunday Juice,” in 2006, using ODDUA as the name of the musical ensemble for those works.
