Grammy Award-winning singer Ciara Wilson is in love with the Yoruba culture. She was recently seen learning the Yoruba Bata dance while dressed in a traditional adire gown.
In a clip shared on Instagram, the 40-year-old dancer was captured rocking a blue adire gown and matching headgear at a Lagos gallery, where she learnt the Bata dance from an instructor.
Her cultural experience is happening during her ongoing visit to Lagos, Nigeria, to celebrate the state’s growing global influence in tourism, art and fashion.
Her “Homecoming” trip coincides with the 15th anniversary of Lagos Fashion Week, and her visit was announced on X by the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor of Lagos State, Jubril Gawat.
“International Superstar, Grammy Award Winner, CIARA Princess Wilson is in Lagos, accompanied by the Commissioner for Tourism, Mrs Toke Benson-Awoyinka. She will be joining us in Lagos to celebrate our Tourism, our Art, and our culture. It’s a homecoming for her and other creatives who see Lagos as home.

He further noted that Ciara visited Balogun Market, one of Lagos’ busiest commercial hubs, as part of her cultural tour.
In a different clip, the songstress was seen hailing improvements in the state’s infrastructure since her last visit.
