searching for fulfillment
This CD is everything I thought it would be,I play it almost everyday,it fills my heart and soul with a joy.
One of My First Orisa Albums
I originally purchased this in cassette form back in 1999 and played it until it died from exhaustion. The songs to the female Orisas are so beautiful that you can't help but dance along and praise them. Baba Canizares did an excellent job of compiling these praise songs. My personal favorite is the song to Yewa, Queen of the Underworld. It has such a haunting melody that if it's playing and someone's talking, I shush them so that I may pay it my full attention. It is a beautiful CD with which to begin your day or whenever you'd just like to be in a meditative space. Ase
