  Brighid: What Do We Really Know?
At the Luxeuil site, Bricta is specifically identified as the consort of Luxovius, a god of healing and light which may be cognate with Lug.
If Bricta was indeed a cognate of Bríg, she was probably a goddess of healing, protection, and fertility with both water and fire associations.
The evidence for Bríg as goddess in Ireland consists of a few references in mythological and placelore tracts, placenames, and the stories and folk practices associated with St. Brigid, who is assumed to be a Christianized version of the earlier goddess.

 The Goddess Brigid   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
She also seems to be associated with fertility, healing and crafts, but there are no surviving stories about her, so we don't know much about her personality or how she was worshipped.
It seems likely in this case that rather than being a separate Goddess, Bricta is a title or honorific used for Sirona.
The Goddess Brig of Ireland does not appear to be linked to any specific tribal group and the name has been found all throughout Ireland.

Warmth here being the warmth of sunligh and the warmth of the sacred springs with whom this deity and his consort, Bricta is intimately connected.

 Hearthstone Brighid
Another interpretation of her name means 'fiery arrow', and through this she has solar and fire associations.
From what we know of Brigantia, she was a local goddess of the Brigantes, and the Romans equated her with Minerva so she was a wise war goddess and had skills in many crafts.
Bricta appears as the consort of a solar god (similar to Lugh), in France but another deity representing healing and fertility was also associated with the site, whether Bricta was there for the same qualities is unknown.

 The Cuban Danzon
Another Italian opera singer who came to New Orleans via Havana and the Tacon Theater was the famous tenor Fornasari who arrived in New Orleans on May 28, 1836 to star as Figaro in The Barber of Seville.
Along with the soloists and chorus, Bricta brought three string instrumentalists to play first viola, cello, and bass in the orchestra as well as conductor Luigi Gabici (c.1813-1862).
Exactly what any of these Italian, Italian-Cuban, or Cuban opera musicians brought to New Orleans in the way of Cuban vernacular music is unknown.
