Description:
Over time, the translation and essence of the songs to the Orishas has been lost within the Regla de Osha. To rescue and revitalize this tradition, Obà Oriaté David Alá Aggayú presents his ninth book: "The Essence of Song: Conversing with the Orishas." This book is the result of many years of thorough research in the Yoruba-Lukumí dialect, offering a work dedicated to restoring the spiritual depth of the songs.

The Essence of Song is a complete manual of songs, words, and translations into Spanish of the expressions and prayers used in Osha. This book covers communication, language, and eloquence in singing and dialoguing with the saints, helping the reader fully understand the words they use and, thus, converse with the Orisha rather than just singing. This deep understanding is crucial to effectively and authentically invoke the spirituality of the deities.
