Many non-Africans wear Geles as a sign of reverence when attending African events, some as a part of their everyday wear and some that have gotten a soft spot for the Yoruba Culture. The art of tying a Yoruba Gele could be very elementary to delicate and complicated construction of elaborate Gele wraps.
