As defined earlier, Orisha Music is that music sang to the deities of the Yoruba based religions of Ifa. There are hundreds of Orisha; however, in the Western Hemisphere we work with primarily fifteen Orisha. The seven primary Orisha also known as the Seven African Powers are Eshu, Ogun, Oshun, Yemoya, Obatala, Shango and Oya. Orisha Music is specific to an Orisha and there is a litany of songs for each Orisha. |  |
