Jul 7, 2008 - True. But the Orisha are "like" Gods in a sense. It's an easier way to explain it to those unfamiliar with the traditions.

Jul 7, 2008 - well , i really know angey back in portnovo. she is from isakete, near abomey, im from ogun state thats just 4omins from kotonou igolo, ogun stae is a part of nigeria, you see, angey speaks youruba so good like any other people from isakete, but the main language of isakete is fon, but every isakete indigene can speak youruba so well, because they use to be part of ogun before french invasion,

Jul 7, 2008 - Being a child of Shango I certainly feel this song, when my 4th child a daughter was conceived it was a bright sunny day outside with not a hint of cloud and all of a sudden thunder and lightning out nowhere and my boyfriend looked at me and said that is the breeding thunder and I said yeah Shango in the house, 3 weeks later I found out I had indeed conceived I call her my little Shango's girl.

Jul 7, 2008 - Cuando escuche por primera vez esta rola, los pelos de mi nuca se me pusieron de punta. Desde entonces he seguido la carrera de esta maravillosa cantante afro-francesa. No se porque razon no hay mas Latinos que la escuchen si su musica suena muy pero muy latina (latino music has its roots in african music) En fin!
corduroy99 Says:
