Here is the story.
Back in 2021, in the midst of global lock downs we, Lulu & Mischka shared another of our online concert cermemonies, this time with the intention to pray for the waters. We asked the hundreds of people who were keen to participate to collect fresh water from a near-by source (lake, river, pond, stream etc.), to have this water with them during the live online concert and to later then offer this prayer-charged water back to its origin.
Some people danced with the waters, some offered flowers as well.
Giving thanks to all of YOU who heard and followed the call for this co-created prayer.
Acknowledging the power of water is a huge shift we can all partake in, honoring this feminine essence, life-giving force. Water holds information, flows softly, cleanses us, reminds us, sings to us, open, receptive, and moves wild and fiercly at times too.
Oshun is the spirit of the fresh waters, from the Orisha tradition of the Yoruba people in West Africa, honoured also in parts of the Brazilian culture.
We pay our respect and give thanks to the Yoruba & Orisha tradition. From the little that we know we have received such deep inspiration and transmission to commune with the water and spirits and elemental forces.
Lyrics:
Minha mae Oshun
Flor do meu coraçao
Aguas benditas, aguas profundas
Minha mae Oshun
Lava o meu coraçao
Oh my mother Oshun
Flower of my heart
Holy waters, pure deep waters
Oh my mother Oshun
Wash over my heart
We would like to give thanks to a few special artists on this track:
Tina Malia on additional vocals
Baran Yildiz on hand pan
Avishai Barnatan on wind instruments and sound engineering.
