Well Said my brother I am Catholic , spent 3 years in a Hindu school{ Arima Hindu school} can still pray in Hindi,spent teenage years going to a Spiritual Baptist church , went Juma with my Brother {Arima Mosque} attended many ORisha Feast and banquets ....God is Truly Great .
I am a crowned priest of Oshun. My Mother is so good to me. But I have to be reminded every morning that she is with me. I listen to this song every morning as my reminder to make the drudgery of every day life disappear, and be her happy warrior walking on this earth.
Hahaha Don't feel bad. All the rhythms heard at Carnival are born out of this. If you're African, it's in your blood. It's your spiritual ancestry call you...and even if you're a non-African Trini, it's still in your heritage...your ancestors have been dancin to Mam Oshun's rhythms for a long time now. =]
Colonialism did a serious damage on us. Anything that is African we were brought up to look down on. Our music our dancing or speaking or entire way of being. Christianity was forced on us in a way to hate what we are. I doubt that was Gods intent. So with that said, research our beautiful history before you cast it down. get to understand it. It is called pagan yet many christian church have many pagan ways about them. PLEASE READ. In Jamaica they also have what we call Kumina too.

I am Trinbagonian Catholic who plays traditional drums and percussion, has family of all religions and was blessed to be born in a community with deep commuity spirit and performance traditions (like best village etc). I sometimes feel sorry for people who have not had this kind of wholistic experience and are so blinded by their respective traditions/religions to not realise that that there is love and light in everything. Granny say pick sense from nonsense. Great upload, Be blessed
So you are acknowledging that you are a slave who is still embracing the slave master's spirituslity because you are afriad of his fairytales of hell fire. Keep in mind Africans and other native priests eat the same fire the albinos of Europe taught you to fear. Yes, whites are by nature albinos or albino derived. They are not the superior beings their delusions caused them to believe.
It is a song for Oshun, Yoruba goddess of rivers, love, conception, and wealth. The song is praising her and asking for wealth and to give twins. It is in the Yoruba language.
Right now in my journey oshun is who I connect with most. People often think you need to be a Baptiste or be in any particular religion to connect with a deity. Oshun in Hinduism is latchmi. Greek is Venus. .and is isis in Egyptian.
kotka89...the song is a praise song for the Orisa of the river Osun. she is the owner of all things sweet. It is said when a woman is barren, she can go pray to Osun and she will conceive as Osun is also the giver of Twins. The first chant Ola n ga la fila fi Osun....translates to the one who commands wealth like a crown is Osun. she commands wealth and loves to surround you with it.. The second one Talade....Osun is the owner of the crown, the crown is befitting the crown
Cyrica Lewis Although most of us have falling from grace and have forgotten our rightful place in this world, our ancestors speak to us through the wind, music, and dreams to remind us 🤗
@noirrosa Obeah is passed down thru families and is based on African tradtions too, so please do not call it withcraft. If you truly understood it you would know that this is another western label like other pepple put upon Orisha. Like anything else, you cna CHOOSE to use what knowledge you have for the betterment of yourself or others, or towards the destruction of either. So no, Obeah is not about putting negativity into the world. We only need the badmind in our hearts to do that.
Dont let anyone DEFINE who you ARE and WHERE youre from! People need to respect themselves & each other not because they HAVE to,but because they SHOULD BE respectful. Peace & Blessings everybody! :)
I must say thks to Ella Andall for these cd that she have made for we have so many famous Singers who are orisha and they have never done this, may GOD bless and keep you. I would love if you can make a OYA cd and a cd with mamalta songs and jaja. My brother and sisters please take your faith serious for the orisha are worth giving to, for god has given us these orisha to guide our lives.Please donot let our faith DIE. Ashe
Light Pink and light blue are also colors of Oshun in some traditions. This is a LOVELY song with beautiful images. I had never heard of Ella Andall. I am now a fan!! Ora ye ye o!
Spirit put it on me to come to the river in my area and give my beloved mother and GUARDIAN ORISHA an offering. Love Oshun very much such a blessing she is. A'se
I am struggling to accept this road but its the only thing that stops my headaches and pain when i listen dance an sing it brings me at peace within myself may i find wats lost in my spirit to my ancestors bring me to the wisdom an understanding of this please
All praise to our heritage!! Be thankful that, through rote, passing from generation to generation we are able to save this aspect of our trans-atlantic heritage from the Continent of Africa. Embrace it all all it provides. The wisdom of the earth, seas, rivers and the air; and all atht it yields for our existence. Thank you for sharing this !!
Yes the whole African and Caribbean Culture is all coming back. "FESTACC" Festival of African and Caribbean Culture. Launching on Saturday Oct 25, 2014 in Toronto, Canada. The event original kick off start in Oct 2015 all over the world. Hope to see you all Orisha (God) believers.
asheee yeyeoooo. I love you so much my mother oshun, I am from venezuela but i am moving to trinidad and want some religion`s friends contact me please. so proud to be sakpata`s son.
I am East Indian and Roman Catholic in Trinidad, However I love this song and would love so much to know more about the Orish tradition in Trinidad. Would love to attend a Feast or worship ceremony. Wish there was a way of finding out when the events are and if its open to the public. Can someone please invite me :)
@alphaacad my experience to why its popular in TnT, Brasil, Cuba and so forth in comparison to Jamaica and Barbados is that it was easier for them to hide to worship their orishas under the mask of the catholic saints. If Barbados is anything like Jamaica then it is more so a Protestant country in comparison to all the other countries being majority Catholic. In Jamaica Kumina is our version of Trinidad's Orisha and or Brasils Candomble.
I love this song... I feel connected to Africa when listening to it. I am not a devotee to the orisha religion but I think it is interesting! The Europeans took away most of our culture and it is good to see that all is not lost.
Lovely video I love it. So many Jamaicans are ignorant to this religion and call it obeah when I try to explain it to them, but the funny thing is that I know many Trinidadians who have never told Me about this religion... I mostly got exposure from Cubans and a few black Americans who practice it. I love it!! However, I don't understand why everyone is in pink and blue when it's an Ochun celebration, why not yellow or gold? Can someone shed some light please?
Everyone in Santeria (Lucumi) has different guardian angels. These colors represent their guardian angel. Like for example; Obba and Yewa are pink and blue is yemaya. And when in any celebration, may it be an oshun celebration, shango celebration, Yemaya celebration, etc... any Orishas can get mounted by the devotee and give a message to those present. Hope this helped.
Jamaica has more church per capita than anywhere else in the world yet the country is a war zone. Too bad thise hypocrite can't practice what they preach, yet they demonize African religions.
I am Jamaican, and i love this so much, i even got initiated, oshun is my guardian angel, i love her so much,,,, really sorry for those Jamaicans, who dont understand
@Criscilla241 You are so right. You know what is even worse? While persons or African origin would stand and demonized anything remotely related to Africa, in the same breath speak of being christain or any of those 'other' religions, those same religions that have been used and still in use today to perpertrate the greatest opprression against persons of African origin. I don't know about others but if there's anything wrong in loving my African heritage then God will have to blame himself
Fuck the white god. He is the enemy of blacks. I asked black Christians where have African gods ever ordered the mass murder, theft of others and they can't respond.
@alphaacad maferefun means WELCOME.modupe means thanks.mojuba means praise. hoore yeye o means behold the benevolent mother.olodo means from the river.
I couldnt have said this ^^^ any better. People who dont understand confuse a West African tradition that has branched out in the Diaspora with Hollywood Mumbo Jumbo; the stereotypes of Obeah/witchcraft and "backwoods". The roots are Yoruba/Dahomey/Arara etc but the branches are all over the world.
i love love love this song............I am a hindu priest (pundit) and I have great respect and love for these ancient Songs and pure way of life.
Well Said my brother I am Catholic , spent 3 years in a Hindu school{ Arima Hindu school} can still pray in Hindi,spent teenage years going to a Spiritual Baptist church , went Juma with my Brother {Arima Mosque} attended many ORisha Feast and banquets ....God is Truly Great .
I'm looking for a real pundit. There are too many fake pundits in Toronto. Lots of fake in voodoo, obeah and Santeria , too.
@@timothytitre9725 you are not a Catholic. That belief was forced upon as a weapon to control blacks. Animism is the true spirituality of blacks.
Oshun is Lakshmi mata they have the same sweet energy
@@pitysinghd Yes She Is In Hindu Aspect
I am a crowned priest of Oshun. My Mother is so good to me. But I have to be reminded every morning that she is with me. I listen to this song every morning as my reminder to make the drudgery of every day life disappear, and be her happy warrior walking on this earth.
Olo Oshun Ololodi i have been

Thanks to High Priestess Ella Andall. You are the vessel that carry the story our ancestors in song, you're a national treasure to the people of TnT.
Right now in my journey oshun is who I connect with most. People often think you need to be a Baptiste or be in any particular religion to connect with a deity. Oshun in Hinduism is latchmi. Greek is Venus. .and is isis in Egyptian.
We are such beautiful people.
Our culture is so rich and deep.
Ella is a gift sent to us

Hi, could you tell me how the third verse of the song goes, what follows?, what it says?, “Ola nga la ferre ?????? Osun gala fila fu Yeye.” Thanks.
I love Ella. What a beautiful representative of god love through our orishas
Love these songs although im not an Orisha, but this music speaks to me
Cyrica Lewis your ancestors speaking to you

alphaacad1The Shango Baptist tradition uses primarily pin for Osun. Please remember that man create the symbols used to connect to the divinities.
Everyone in Santeria (Lucumi) has different guardian angels. These colors represent their guardian angel. Like for example; Obba and Yewa are pink and blue is yemaya. And when in any celebration, may it be an oshun celebration, shango celebration, Yemaya celebration, etc... any Orishas can get mounted by the devotee and give a message to those present. Hope this helped.
It's embraced in Cuba but shunned in most English speaking Caribbean countries.
Jamaica has more church per capita than anywhere else in the world yet the country is a war zone. Too bad thise hypocrite can't practice what they preach, yet they demonize African religions.
I am Jamaican, and i love this so much, i even got initiated, oshun is my guardian angel, i love her so much,,,, really sorry for those Jamaicans, who dont understand
