| Recorded in Havana, this is a Santeria ceremony to honor and evoke Eleggua. Eleggua is known as a multisided trickster and gatekeeper. A "Guiro", which refers to the shaker instrument also refers to the ceremony and style of music. These events occur frequently in Havana using guiros (also refered to as abwes and chekeres), a conga and a bell (usually played on a hoe blade call 'guataca'). This type of ceremony is very similar to what some call a 'bembe'. This CD is over 79 minutes long and covers the most important aspects of this event. |
