CD ReviewsOUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!! 08/12/1998 (5 out of 5 stars) "Being an initiate of the religon....I can fully appreciate the music and it's essence. I currently live in Iowa, this my little piece of heaven. ASHE' to everyone!" Music for Ritual Use 11/18/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "The liner notes which are written in Spanish do not provide a person who is not familiar with Santeria with enough details. The intiates in the various houses of worship are secretive about thier specific rituals. Because the "Seven Powers of Africa," are well known in Cuba outside of the Lukumi devotees, the music is offered as a type of ethnomusicology recording for outsiders.If you are working with a specific Orisha in front of your Altar put this CD on and chant with the sacred drummers. This CD can aid worshipers in asking the spirits to come down. It is like a Gospel record for a Baptist." Straight from the source - invaluable matchu@mediaone.net | los angeles | 06/15/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "This cd is an invaluable resource for those interested in the rhythm and song traditions of cuban santeria. A collection of field recordings documenting cojuntos in matanzas and havana. This cd is raw but authentic."
