"Ide Were Were is an African-flavored chill-out song, based on the ancient traditional chant for Ochún, the Orichá (goddess) of love from the Yoruba religion, which was practiced in what is today Nigeria and Benin. Taken by the slaves across to the New World, it formed the base of the Santeria religion in Cuba and the Candomblé in Brazil.
Like a black Aphrodite, Ochún’s seductive and sensual power encapsulates the feminine ideal. In nature, she rules over rivers." (quote from the website).
Singing to the River Goddess.
