Onissaure (Traditional Song)

from Roots by Nilza Costa

/

  • New album
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    "Roots" is the second album of the brazilian singer Nilza Costa, and it will be released in October 2016, by the FonoFabrique label. The ten songs of the album narrate with melancholy, religiousness and poetry - but also with a strong dose of hope - the meaning of life of men and women torn from their homeland. Throughout the entire album the Africanness of the singer's origins shines clearly, and it is artfully blended with some AfroJazz arrangements and with the Yoruba language, that characterizes its ancestry, its spirituality and its driving and pervasive force.
    The album was produced by Studio SoundLab, a cultural organization in Bologna, and by the band who accompanies the artist in her concerts: the drummer Roberto Rossi, who also worked at the arrangements, Federico Codicé and Alberto Irrera.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Roots via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

Obanlà o rin n'eru ojiikutu s'eru
Ifon alabalase oba patapata n'ille iranje
O yo kelekele o ta mi l'ore
O gba agiri i'wo osika
O momento è de dor mas nao tenha rancor
O fi l'emi asoto l'owo
Obà igbo alowaye re e o ke bi owu la o ya ala!
sun l'ala o fi koko ala rumo.
Ogba igbo.
O momento è de dor mas nao tenha rancor.
