DF-N: The liturgical sequence in this section is performed a capella—that is, vocals only, without musical instruments, as in the ritual preparation of omiero (“making Osain”) (Cabrera 2023). ↑
DF-N: Oshaoko and Osaoko are various pronunciations and/or transliterations of the orisha more commonly referred to as Orisha Oko. In Cabrera’s notes for Música de los cultos, Cabrera notably avoids more Hispanic-sounding iterations of the name that employ “ch-“ sounds (e.g., Oricha Oko, Orichaoko, Ochaoko, etc.). cf. Drewal 1992, Verger 2007b. It is worth noting that part of the liturgy associated with Shango that is sung by Martínez in this section (Discs 13A and 13B) — e.g., oluwo o ku mabo — has a direct analog in Até Borá’s repertoire earlier in the collection (Disc 1B @ 12’31”). ↑
