A few days into this summer season, the charismatic percussionist, vocalist and composer Brenda Navarrete announced through her social networks that her latest work would soon be available on all digital platforms. The launching took place on the afternoon of Sunday, July 14 at the Ateneo de La Habana.<\/span>. <\/span><\/i>The event, which Navarrete herself described as \"a conversation among friends\", took place as an artistic-spiritual journey among sunflowers, incense, Santiago rum and good vibes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Iyalodde<\/span><\/i> is one of the many titles used to honor and refer to Oshun. The term can be broken down into two parts: <\/span>iya<\/span><\/i>meaning mother or woman, and <\/span>lodde<\/span><\/i>which can be interpreted as one who possesses power and important qualities. This epithet gives name to Brenda Navarrete's new single and initiates the first of several trilogies dedicated to the orishas of the Yoruba pantheon that will later make up her second phonogram entitled <\/span>Agbara, <\/span><\/i>which translated into English means energy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The theme is a sung prayer that Navarrete builds from two fundamental elements: his own voice, as the main thread of the main melody and the harmonic drawings, and the bat\u00e1 drums, used in Afro-Cuban sacred ceremonies, as the support of the rhythmic band. The choice of these elements in the production of the musical theme denotes the intention of transmitting a spiritual message without distractions. The sound of the bells at the beginning; the pure voice, without additives and the energetic force of the drum act as a bridge between the earthly and the divine.<\/span><\/p>\n

The song's lyrics, in ancient Yoruba, are based on some of the most beautiful instances of the Afro-Cuban cult of Oshun. This linguistic approach not only brings cultural authenticity to the work, but also strengthens its connection to the spiritual roots of Afro-Cuban religion. The minimalism of the musical production and the richness of the lyrical content reflect a deep respect for tradition while denoting actuality.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, the videoclip of <\/span>Iyalodde<\/span><\/i> is distinguished by aesthetic sobriety, an approach that Lena Hernandez, director of the visuals, deliberately uses to enhance the spiritual message of the song and focus attention on the figure of Brenda as a reflection of Oshun's power and grace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
