Natalie Cressman & Ian Faquini – Afoxé Pra Oxum
From 'Auburn Whisper' - Available April 15, 2022
Stream/Buy here: orcd.co/afoxe

This song honors Oxum, the Orisha/goddess of rivers, waterfalls, and fresh water, and a symbol of fertility, beauty, and wealth in the Afro-Brazilian religion candomblé. The ijexá groove creates a chant-like and meditative setting to evoke Oxum, as the lyrics describe the way she enchants those around her, from the fish in the water to any human lucky enough to catch a glimpse of her. We often find inspiration for our music in the stories of the orixas and in nature itself, and were so happy to have Natalie’s sister, Julianna, bring her spirit to life.

LYRICS
Dona da beleza jururu engalanada
Canta curió na viração e o peixe para
Dela a piracema, seu espelho um olho d’água
Ouro pele negra, numa pedra acocorada

Lá na cachoeira eu coroei a minha amada,
Oromin mayó ô, ôro, oromin
Eu beijei a flor, nasceu a flor da minha estrada
Oromin mayó ô, oro oromin

Salve essa riqueza, natureza fecundada
Mãe da minha avó, a pioneira Icamiaba
Bela por inteiro, no tempero, na pisada
Doce mel da abelha, ararinha delicada

Lá na cachoeira eu avistei a minha amada,
Oromin mayó ô, ôro, oromin
Eu beijei a flor, nasceu a flor na minha estrada
Oromin mayó ô, oro oromin mayó

Balé Nagô para a rainha do amor
Pra Yê Yê Ô
Foi alabê quem chamou, abe tocou
Quando o xirê começou, ayê bailou
Foi alabê quem chamou, abe tocou
Quando o xirê começou, pra Yê Yê Ô
Foi a rainha do amor
Quem me ganhou
A ladainha parou e o afoxé chegou

Dona da beleza jururu engalanada
Canta curió na viração e o peixe para
Dela a piracema, seu espelho um olho d’água
Ouro pele negra, numa pedra acocorada
