From the Label The Yoruba/Dahomean Collection: Orishas Across The Ocean is an historical document of monumental importance. The 24 tracks featured on this compilation are a musical snapshot of Haitian Vodou, Cuban Santería, Trinidadian Shango, and Brazilian Candomblé recorded between the late '30s and the mid-'50s. These religions originated with the Yoruba and Dahomean peoples, who were brought from West Africa to the Americas through the slave trade that lasted well into the 19th century. The Cubans, Brazilians, Haitians, and Trinidadians whose voices mingle on this CD are separated by hundreds of miles of water and differing colonial pasts. Despite this they all sing and drum to orishas (gods) from sources in the Yoruba and Dahomey religions of their West African ancestors. The recordists of the music presented here were Laura Boulton, Melville Herskovits, and Lydia Cabrera. Boulton was one of the most prolific and pioneering recordists; Herskovits and Cabrera were towering figures in the field of Afro-American studies, and their contributions are of the highest scholarly authority. These rare recordings show how the combined powers of drumming, singing, and dancing are vehicles of the spirit in the Yoruba and Dahomean religions, and how these peoples maintained their integrity and essential unity despite the sorrows of the slave existence and several hundred years isolation from their African sources.
