this was at the Annual African Street Festival in Brooklyn sometime in th 80's This the Afrtican Traditional Religion of Ifa. They are singning for the various orisas. This song is for Obatala.
And not all Obatala's paths are very old. That is only one path. In his Ayaguna path for example he is young and a warrior like Chango who is my Crowned Orisha.
That was the most beautiful song I've heard, (the first one) it touched me to tears, I have absolutely no idea what they're singing about but the melody stirred and touched me deeply. Please, please tell me what they're singing about, and in which language? Thank you. Geefah
Clarification: that is not Iyanla Vanzant singing, though she is an iyalorisa of Obatala. The singer is the esteemed Amma McKen, iyalorisa Yemoja. The chorus is Babalawo Babalorisa Esu Walter Ince, second man unsure and woman, Ola DeJean, iyalorisa Obatala. She is singing in Yorùbá. There is no such word as "Yoruboid" or for that matter "Yoruban".
Obatala has male and female paths. Mine happens to be Ayaguna but he has female paths like Ochanla the most popular one and then even more. Check on it.
This the yoruba religion Ifa. Although due to the African Slave Trade in the Diaspora, particularly the countries of Cuba, Puerto Rico it is known as Santeria. There are similarities and differences in both.

Obatala has male and female paths. Like I said in another comment that did not post. My path is Ayaguna and he is mostly male but he has a few female paths like Ochanla. He is the only Orisha with these qualities.
I’m aware, which is why I asked for clarity on what you meant by “He’s the only Orisa with these qualities”. I have a friend crowned with a female road of Elegba.
Ok friend. So you are telling me that it was in NYC? I think it was in Africa or Cuba because this song is from Santeria-Cuba. But, I know that a lot of SAnteros went to NYC. It's great and awesome. Thank you for the answer.
The “song” didn’t originate in Cuba; it originated in Africa and those Africans who venerated orisa. There are other similar worship systems spread across the Aftican continent but this one is from those known as the Yoruba. Black Africans. They brought the orisa to Cuba where it took on the Spanish name of Santeria, now more popularly called Lucumi in the Diaspora.
Ip Vieira This is Akpon Iya Amma Mcken and crew from NYC. This took place sometime in the late 80'd early 90's at the Boys and Girls High School yard on Atlantic Ave. and Utica Ave. in Brooklyn at the African Art Street Festival.
This video will forever be one of my favorites on UA-cam.

Only Orisa with what qualities? Male & Female roads?
@@SmokinMirrorz Well, Eleggua also has more than one female path as well.
I’m aware, which is why I asked for clarity on what you meant by “He’s the only Orisa with these qualities”. I have a friend crowned with a female road of Elegba.
I love it.
