Bata for Eshu/ Eleggua

Kiri Nya, Latokpa, Niongo & Abukenke/ Donounwa
The song, Kiri Nya is a popular song for Eşu/ Elegua (guardian of the crossroads) heard in Matanzas, Cuba.

There are three rhythms played afterward each paying tribute to blend of playing styles from Nigeria, Cuba and beyond. These Variations are my own and, in no way, should they be interpreted as traditional rhythms from the Lukumi repertoire or Oru Secu.

! I have broken with a Lukumi tradition, in the sense that I have allowed a girl to play these drums.

Gracias Diego y los saludos.

Yo no jugaba las invocaciones. Esto fue un desempeño público para propósitos de entretenimiento sólo.

Estos ritmos varían porque fui enseñado en tradiciones de Yoruba en comparación con Lukumi. Yo también Jugué variaciones en mi propia discreción se opusieron como a jugar estrictamente de los estilos de Lukumi.
