The Agudas or Tabom are the Afro-Brazilian community in the south of Benin, Togo and Ghana who are mostly of Yoruba descent.[1][2] The Tabom People are an Afro-Brazilian community of former enslaved peoples who returned to Africa (Ghana). When they arrived in Jamestown, Accra they could speak only Portuguese, and would conspicuously use the phrase "Tá bom" ("Okay"),[3] so the Ga-Adangbe people,[4] who primarily inhabited the Jamestown neighborhood in Accra, started to call them the Tabom.
