Taguiri Taguiri yo
Estó sagrado que llevo
dentro de mi
Ritmo africano
de mi origen lucumi
Son, fundamento de mi ganga
Madre de Agua, Siete Rayos
vense batalla lo mundele
que llevo dentro mi
Allá por consolación fui a ver
el viejo Cańengue
Brujo de reputació el que
más rapido atiende
Hablaba con Cowajende
Sarabanda y Siete Rayos
Y me pidió ver el Trigallo,
pa' refosar su malembe
Son, fundamento de mi ganga
Madre de Agua, Siete Rayos
vense batalla lo mundele
que llevo dentro de mi
(Coro)
Vense batalla lo mundele...
(Coro)
Son mis Bodas de Oro, Nena,
ven y goza como yo.
about
Five HOT Cuban tracks performed by a 15-piece orchestra - a mix of classical charanga style with Afro-Cuban folklore and jazz. 12(!) more songs feature rumba, batå drums and an authentic "Conga Santiaguera" -the vibrant carnival rhythm of Santiago de Cuba.
The recording "Yéyé Oludé" is the Afro-Cuban masterpiece by percussionist Andreas Molino.
This historic album was recorded in 2000 at the cinema of Alto Songo-La Maya, in a small village near Santiago de Cuba. It became a classic right after its release in the city of Cologne (Köln) in Germany.
"Yéyé Oludé" features rare recordings of two master Cuban musicians : the late drummer Francisco Hernández Mora, also known as Pancho Quinto, and legendary rumba singer Santa Cruz de Habana, aka Ricardo Gómez Rivera. The album "Yéyé Oludé" is a exciting compilation of Cuban rumbas and traditional Afro-Cuban rhythms (with names like toques de batá, toques de güiro, rítmo de palo, bembé, iyesa).
"Yéyé Oludé" contains a truly original "Conga Santiaguera". This the traditional rhythm of the carnival marching bands in Santiago de Cuba. The track features the corneta china (chinese trumpet or suona in Chinese), played by Rafael Leliebre Borjas, galletas (big carnival bass drums used in Santiago de Cuba), and the voices of Alto Songo's primary school students who spontaneously joined in for the recording.
Five tracks on the album are performed by the 15-piece orchestra Andreas y sus amigos. The arrangements combine traditional charanga orchestrations with Afro-Cuban folkloric styles and jazz elements. The orchestra was officially invited to perform at the annual memorial festival for Rafael Lay in Palma Soriano in 2001.
