Product Description
The Orixas are the spiritual beings of the Yoruba pantheon, worshipped throughout the Diaspora. The music contained on this disc will surprise you. Sixteen Orixas are represented, the invocations are in line with their traditional ritual contexts. But the production brings together artists from all over, from Nigeria to Panama, Reunion Island to Brazil. The result is a contemporary fusion of approaches that sounds great in the dance studio, for pure listening enjoyment, or personal contemplation. This disc features: Erol Josue (Haiti, vocals, Houngan); Reine Sophie Acadine (Reunion Island, voice); DK Dyson (US, voice); Magali (Brazil, voice); Nego Gato (Brazil, voice, capoerista); Ileana Santamaria (Cuba, voice): Suphala (India, tablas); Gustavo Dantas (Brazil, guitar); Vernon Reid (US, guitar); Jorjao Silva (Brazil, voice); Carlinhos Almeida (Brazil, cavaquinho); Jay Rodriguez (Colombia, flute, sax); Micah Gaugh (Panama, sax, voice); Mazz Swift (US, violin); Leon Gruenbaum (US, cz-101); Luis Bonilla (Costa Rica, trombone); Chief Dayo (Nigeria, voice, Yoruba priest); Balla Kouyate (Mali, balafon); dj Wiz (US, turntables); Alain Kodjovi (Togo, guitar, bass); Edith and Katty (Venezuela, voices); Aisha Mike (US, voice)
