Curawaka - OLOKUN (Filmed with Anna Bariyani & Friends Live in Bali)

Описание: This very special early recording of our new song 'OLOKUN' was captured in Spring 2025 at Zest Bali. The evening saw Anna Bariyani sing together with her dear friend Kathi von Koerber, her co-collaborator in this song, Curawaka's Alberto Arroyo on guitar, Raffa Martinez on percussion, Solveig Knudsen on keys and Taita Nandu on waira.

You can hear the final version of OLOKUN everywhere now at this link: https://hypeddit.com/valztc

OLOKUN is a song for the oceans and the waters, for the mothers and the daughters. Olokun is an Orisha spirit of the deep sea and ruler of all bodies of water in the Yoruba tradition of West Africa. In the Candomblé religion of Brazil, Olokun is honored as the mother of Yemanya. Anna Bariyani received the central part of the song on the day before the birth of her second daughter, while making an offering to the ocean. Calling the support of the ladies of the sea - Olokun and her daughter Yemanya - in order to bless the birth of her daughter, Anna also birthed the song Olokun. The recording features the vocals of Kathi von Koerber, Anna Bariyani’s long time close friend and mentor. Both women are mothers to daughters and carry the prayer for the waters of the world. With this song they wish to honour the ocean as the mother of life and call upon the sacred forces of the sea to bring balance and purity to the world, so that water can flow in spiral and ensure that life blossoms for all. 🙏
