Domingos Sodré was born in the West African kingdom of Onim, modern-day Lagos, Nigeria. Together with his parents, he was sold at a very young age to a buyer in Bahia. Over the course of the nineteenth century, he won his freedom and became a very prestigious Nagô (Yoruba) priest in Salvador. He established a well-known Candomblé on the outskirts of the parish of São Pedro, becoming famous as a prosperous African freedman and landlord.
