The Idaasha also spelt Idaaca, Idaaṣa and Idaaitsa are a group of the Yoruba people, situated in the central portions of the Collines Department of Benin, West Africa. They are based in and around the communities of Glazoué (Igbo Omina/Gbomina) and Dassa (Igbo Idaasha) both situated west of the Oueme River.[2] Every year, the Idaasha organize a festival of arts and culture known as FACI (Festival des Arts et Cultures Idaasha) to celebrate their culture and heritage, themed Àshà Ìbílẹ̀ .
