A riveting album featuring ancestral drums & chants along with the Oru Seco, a sacred suite of 23 movements performed by batá drums. Grupo Ilú Aña's director (Regino Jiménez) is a priest of Aña, the deity who is believed to reside within the sacred batá drums, and is recognized as one of the world's top batá drummers. The batá are a set of three ceremonial drums belonging to the Yoruba people of Nigeria, brought from Africa to Cuba via the slave trade. The sounds simulate language; the rhythms & songs impart the ancient wisdom of Yoruba philosophy & worldview, inducing trances in followers of the religion.
