[Passw0rd777]

This Languages resemble the Danhome language in Republic of Benin Ouida.

[TheTulokis]

[CUBAGRECO]

Eso es Afro-Cubano y lo demas no es mas nada que por accidente, asi que callense la jeta y aprendan.

[EmiMale]

@CUBAGRECO Are you a Child?

[jnc114]

[Charlatan2807]

Me gusta su fuzion ^^

[babyface4love]

This is not yoruba language right? :)

[EmiMale]

@babyface4love It's got elements of the Yoruba language. How much? I don't know.

[CUBAGRECO]

@EmiMale What do you mean with "D.R"?.... Dude if you don't know what you're talking about keep your mouth shut.

[EmiMale]

@CUBAGRECO Smart thing to do in addition to your comment is to tell us what the answer is.

[SirenaMor]

I know this video is 5yrs old, but it is still my favorite Obatala song on Youtube! Ilu Aye should do a reunion show or something! I hope you all don't take it this down. Maferefun Obatala.

[silverwillow89]

[ElBoriOchun305]

segun oi hace unos meses atras que hubo un rumor para que philbert el de los herederos cantara esa cancion!!! en este grupo hay Boricuas ,dominicanos y cubanos etc..esto es para orientar al abure que le da solo credito a los cubanos!! habemos santeros de todos los paises mira yo soy uno y soy boricua

[CUBAGRECO]

@ElBoriOchun305 El que le dio credito a los rumberos cubanos no tiene nada que ver conmigo, pero soy cubano, santero y maestro del quinto y del iya y si! santeros hay en el mundo entero pero la ejecucion de los tambores bata y el apkwon son cubanos y el credito es de nosotros por haberle ensenado a esos boricuas y dominicanos... y hablen habladores ekkwe..

[joseyev]

@CUBAGRECO es verdad y todo el credito se los debemos a los cubanos...yo soy boricua...no hay porque negar que los cubanos fueron los fundadores de esta religion..pero tambien se reconose de que hai buenos santeros boricuas y dominicanos como los hay cubanos...hay santeros malos en todas partes hasta en cuba....pero hay que darle grasias a los cubanos por expandir su religion a nuestras partes del mundo

[ElBoriOchun305]

segun oi hace unos meses atras que hubo un rumor para que philbert el de los herederos cantara esa cancion!!!

Y continua CUBA dandole lecciones de percucion al mundo entero.....Aprendan pero despues no se pongan a decir por ahi que esto es de ustedes...VIVA CUBA Y GUAJACONE' PA' LA ORILLA !!!!!!.....

[Ogbeni]

it's is very interesting to see how the Lucumi-people have brilliantly been able to preserve the essence of Yoruba/Anago heritage and traditions in the face of tough vicissitudes of slavery...although there are nuances in the pronunciation of words, the preservation is very scintillating...and one truth, I am learning so much about Yoruba heritage from you Cubans than I ever learnt in nigeria.

[iworioffun]

[mavinga]

yo this is incredible, the spirit of mother africa is so alive, that brother has the spirit of our ancestors in him, as hard as those who dont understand have tried to kill the spirit of africa they failed to realise the spirit of africa is beyond what you can see it is the spirit of all of mankind the origin of life

[kodjo73]

Thanks for sharing this Celebration of Spirits, Soul & Life ! :o)

[sojion]

after i saw this video i just felt i need to write something. I'm a yoruba boy from Nigeria and i can pick up somethings from what he is singing. Very nice. maybe u ppl should try and listen to some yoruba (Nigerian)traditional musik, its almost the same thing.

[carcity11101]

@sojion hi im the singer on this vid i hear traditional yoruba music and thats where this decends from the yoruba bata drum music and more from all the regions of yoruba land and even benin

[dudukora]

this is really good.very close to the mother land. loving it. i really cant understand what they are saying but the rythm, I am very familiar with. coming from a traditional yoruba girl.

[carcity11101]

@dudukora thank you im the singer of the group its broken down 17th century oyo dialect

[folovision]

All i can say is heavy man - seriously these people are not messin - spirit of Africa sing to me !!!

[Dre984]

[pp89074]

Portorican are very good changing the name and the properties of the things.They call the cuban son,portorican salsa and the cuban rumba portorican folklor.Afortunatly for them nu,otal is the same,by tis wy we are safe with olofi and his orihas.Onofokinangamanga ae.

[wassadrummer]

[georchyman]

prescioso video,no cabe la menor duda...al que dios se lo dio san pedro se lo bendiga!!!...¡Ashè!!

[GitanaSensual]

Maferefun Orishas todos los dias!!!!

[bartolo333]

I just feel it through my blood. I may be puerto rican but cubans know how to get down. I love it!

[ralphlo]

Funny you mention that, the apkwon singer, if i'm not mistaken is Dominican, the two bataleros minus the iya player are Puerto Rican, i think the only Cuban may be the Iya player but thats a guess..believe me Puerto Rocks are definitely respresented well in this particular musical situation.

[bartolo333]

Well damn, shows how much I know, LOL. I think it's awesome how different people from different backgrounds can come together and produce such chemistry.

[ralphlo]

thats what it is all about...

[oj15]

i must have watched this video about a thousand times,, wonder if they will ever come out to the los angeles area..

[ralphlo]

They were in the California area sometime a while back...i'm pretty sure if they get the call and they can do it, they'd be willing to travel...the apkwon Bembesito was in Portland, OR last year i think...

[cmontanezsoto]

te lo digo en español porque soy boricua. Panita, esta brutal, enseguida se me sube la sangre y siento vibrando hasta el esqueleto....

[louis368]

Where r u guys playing next, especially in Puerto Rico.

[STYLEZP]

this group is sick peoples an the kid singin is wild who the hell is that

[ralphlo]

The apkwon is Osvaldo "Bembesito" Lora, and he and his group have made quite a name for themselves...they do alot of tambores and guiros in the NYC area...on iya is Raymond Corasani, on Itotele is Camilo Molina, and on oconcolo is Jonathan Troncoso, i think...

[ralphlo]

i'm sorry its probably Nicky Laboy on okonkolo...

[bach5desiring]

Una pregunta... el apkwon,Osvaldo Lora, es miembro del Grupo Abbilona?

[carcity11101]

@bach5desiring es bembesito no soy de abilona pero me gusta abilona y los cantantes de esa produccion soy dominicano de nyc tengo hecho obatala y canto en todo los estados unidos en ceremonias de osha

[roww2719]

I don't know why we can't get more postings of our Lucumi-Yoruba music and tambor in this place. This music takes me back to my Cuban upraising in no other than NY where we went to tambo after tambor. It is only now that I am 30 years old where I really truly believe and understand. I beg for more postings like this so we can spread our beautiful religion and way of life

[latinjigga2000]

Awesome Video! I wanna see more like this!

[ricanangel74]

Not only is the music beautiful , but if you listen carefully ,you can feel the Orichas at thier most wonderful glory. *{Ilu Aye)* Please continue with your hard work ,train hard , Spread the Teaching ,Faith,Strenght,Love and Joy that this our ancestors left us with Blood,Sweat,Pain,Tears,Love and above all the Faith and Hope,that some day this great gift would become this enormous and powerful REALITY.

[oj15]

hands down, love this song!! did you have video of that last song they were playing? chango i think it was
