Album Description
These recordings of Santeria drumming and singing rituals feature four Cuban Santeria groups calling the gods (orishas) by performing rythmic sequences called orus. Recorded in the Cuban provinces of Matanzas and Havana City in 1983-1984, these ceremonies and drums have their roots in the ancient Yoruba religion of Africa and are rarely heard outside of Cuba. Notes in English and Spanish. 24 tracks.

"A music at once raw and elegant, powerful and subtle." -Miami Herald

The liner notes which are written in Spanish do not provide a person who is not familiar with Santeria with enough details. The intiates in the various houses of worship are secretive about thier specific rituals. Because the "Seven Powers of Africa," are well known in Cuba outside of the Lukumi devotees, the music is offered as a type of ethnomusicology recording for outsiders.If you are working with a specific Orisha in front of your Altar put this CD on and chant with the sacred drummers. This CD can aid worshipers in asking the spirits to come down. It is like a Gospel record for a Baptist.

This cd is an invaluable resource for those interested in the rhythm and song traditions of cuban santeria. A collection of field recordings documenting cojuntos in matanzas and havana. This cd is raw but authentic.
