Ilu Aye: video by DennisFlores.com

ILU AYE (Literally, "The Drum of the World" in Yoruba)was founded in 2004, to celebrate the connections between the peoples and cultures of the African Diaspora. Bringing together the next generation of Afro-Puerto Rican, -Dominican, and -Cuban percussionists and singers, ILU AYE is dedicated to preserving and promulagting the rich cultural legacy of Africa in the Americas and the Caribbean, through performance, educational workshops, and community-centered gatherings where the rhythms of the African Caribbean reign. Trained by master musicians from all three islands, and versed in sacred and popular rhythms such as bata, guiro, rumba (Cuba); bomba and plena (Puerto Rico); and palos, salves, and kongos (Dominican Republic), ILU AYE interprets traditional songs and reinvigorates the genres with original compositions by renowned akpwon, Osvaldo "Bembe" Lora.

Hey guys its Amma Sango, ur posts are great!

When you get a chance, I would love if you could put the language (spanish, youruba), country of origin (venezuela, cuba), tradition of origin (congo, lucumi, dahomey), and social significance (wedding dance, praise incantation) of each of your posts. (in par's are just examples of what I mean). Thanks and keep up the good work!
