Saravá - Canto De Ossanha (Baden Powell and Vinicius de Moraes Cover)
Abulafia Gathering #4
"This song was inspired by Afro-Brazilian religions Candomblé and Umbanda -- creeds that were persecuted by the Christian majority and, therefore, practiced underground for most of the 20th century (it is not uncommon for evangelical extremists to persecute these religions to this day.
A couple of years ago a girl was stoned for wearing one of the religion's garments on the street and temples where they are practiced are often vandalised).
Vinicius de Moraes, a white poet, diplomat and composer from an affluent upbringing, converted to Candomblé late in life and helped spread the deeply philosophical and spiritual content of the songs created by former slaves." - Thank you Marcelo Zorzanelli for this knowledge.
This was our final gathering at Pluto Studios and though it's tough to say goodbye, we're great-full for every moment! 😇
Huge love and admiration for everyone who took part in the project, each gathering was a unique journey of people and sounds, thank you!
We'll see you soon at upcoming gatherings and shows around the 🌎! 🎉🎉🎉
