	Garments and Panels
		The outfit used for the female orishas is usually a midsleeve, calf-length dress, in a style reminiscent of nineteenth-century Cuban colonial era, with a waist band that is tied in the back.
		When a man is ordained to a female orisha, the outfit consists of a jacket and pants in the appropriate color of the orisha, but a woman who is ordained to a male orisha will wear a masculine outfit regardless.
		When mantones are used by an orisha in possession, the female deities tend to place the manton (and often the panels as well) over their shoulders and then open it as if it were a large caul, often taking a devotee under it, symbolically sheltering the person from evil.

	Reviews - Cuban Roots and The Orisha Suite/Mark Weinstein
		The original release quickly became a prized collectible and today probably is one of the most collectible vinyls on the planet, while even the Ariola re-release is quite sought-after and you'd probably have to be incredibly lucky to find one.
		In addition to Weinstein, the band is comprised of a formidable array of luminaries.
		However, "The Orisha Suite" was conceived and performed as an offering to the female spirit, and the greater lyricism of this recording reflects this superbly.

		Orishas is also the name of a hip-hop/latino fusion band whose members are Cubans living in Spain.
		An Orisha, also spelled Orisa and Orixa is a spirit that reflects one of the manifestations of Olodumare (God) in the Yoruba spiritual or religious system.
		Orisha devotees strive to obtain Ase through Iwa-Pele or gentle and good character, in turn they experience alignment with the Ori or what others might call inner peace or satisfaction with Life.

		Thomas states 'The Orisha drummers and other Orisha devotees viewed the pan as the nearest alternative to their original skin covered drums, an alternative that has been sought ever since the banning of the drums.
		Similarly, the Tamboo Bamboo bands substituted the Bembeh with the boom, the Congo became the cutter and the Umbillay, the fuller of foulé.
		It has been reported that the steel band emerged as a result of the various accidents that occurred in certain Tamboo Bamboo bands in Port of Spain, when different bamboo joints were shattered while being played and had to be substituted by steel drums and other pieces of metal.

		Eventually they invite him to Cocorite Youth Center where the band was practicing, to come.

	The Oberlin Review Online
		Truly, the idea is admirable, but Hart missed the beat entirely as the Bembe Orisha world sound proved to be an over-wrought disaster.
		The stage was filled with numerous glowing instruments hailing from Africa, Cuba, Iran, India and the Americas, indicating the band’s attempt to fuse traditional and modern sounds.
		Not only did Hart and the band’s performance lack the energy I so enjoyed at the Grateful Dead shows of my youth, but I can’t help but wonder how such a well-trained group of musicians, Hart in particular, could be led so musically astray.

		This was early 1974 and the band set about organising their own gigs, as well as playing benefits and festivals around the Devon and Cornwall counties of Southwest England.
		The bands main intention was to have a good time and give others the same.
		Every number had more punch and the sounds Harvey was now getting from his synths saw a huge jump in complexity and effect, very reminiscent of the passages he used to fill the lul between the end of one Hawkwind song and the beginning of the next.

		He was like the relief band - the dance band, what we call the Rumba Bands today, the house band.
		In those days, if a band was coming in from Texas, his band would play a "Deep in the Heart of Texas", or if a band was coming in from France, they would play a French song.
		It is the section of music when the band came in with the horns and other instruments, but no singing.

		It was at the Little Carib that the young Tanker first heard the late Orisha priest and master drummer Andrew Beddoe, He didn't know it then, but the beat of Beddoe's drums was to reverberate through his own career.
		The Orisha faith is central to his work, But his involvement With the faith is not as crucial as, say, Bob Marley's Rastafarianism was to his music.
		Tanker considers it a privilege to be able to perform his own music, pointing out that most local bands have to play cover versions of the latest Caribbean hits.

	Orisha-A New Band of Reminiscence
		Orisha's lyrics on "Titanic Slips," are often poetic, sometimes ruddy and vulgar, but always cutting to the quick with well thought-out honesty.
		The honesty in the music is due, perhaps, to the personal nature of the songs, of which each seems to have been inspired by a certain friend or acquaintance of the band.
		Orisha is a moody band, sometimes harsh, sometimes soft, sometimes cold and sometimes soothing, but always in the mood for making music-good music.

	Oz Music Project - Australian Music Resource and Webzine
		Melbourne's darkly orchestrated electronics trio, Orisha got their self-titled album around the traps late last year via the AMRAP program, impressing a number of people who took the time to saunter a while amongst the well produced alleyways and shadows of the collected sounds.
		Distributed via MGM for buyers and sometimes stalking the darker edges of vocal beats, Orisha's music never quite triggers industrial led lights, but they do inject enough energy, fuzz and emotional venom to make the electronics growl.
		Orisha's vocalist Emah Fox becomes the band's calling card over the 12 tracks included, dramatically hovering like a dark angel and then embodying whole heartedly the fraught and pressurised programming of Shane Kavanagh and Dean Lusher - whose previous incarnation MPI (Modified Perception Industries) released an LP for France's Omnisonus/BMG in 1997.

		Bembe Orisha, which literally means "party of spirits," blends music that transcends the American roots of the Dead's music and musicians.
		A mix of Latin, African, Middle-Eastern and American styles, Bembe Orisha's music is the creation of eight musicians from varying musical and geographic backgrounds.
		The voice of Azam Ali from Iran, Cuban-born Nengue Hernandez's percussion and South African Bakithi Kumalo's bass grooves, which some may recognize from his work with Paul Simon, merge with the rest of the band to form a global stew of sounds.

	Shark Quest: Gods and Devils - PopMatters Music Review
		Instrumental rock is always a difficult avenue to pursue, because the audience expectation for vocal hooks or lyrical narratives is nearly impossible to overcome.
		An instrumental band has to be able to compensate for what most perceive them to be lacking by showcasing unique strengths.
		The name of the band hints at adventure, but the music stays firmly grounded in a somewhat retro three-guitar mélange of southern Americana and world folk; the end result better matches the experience of watching an antiquated travelogue than going on a modern safari.

		For the always-busy Hart the new ensemble is just one activity in a flurry of activity that includes his ongoing work digitizing music for the Library of Congress, his work as a producer (he recently recorded an album for Japanese percussion group Kodo, which is due this month) and maintaining his ties to the Dead.
		As for Bembe Orisha, Hart's new group includes players with whom he has collaborated, but in a configuration that promises something new.
		Comprised of Cuban vocalist Bobi Cespedes, guitarist Barney Doyle, bassist Rahsaan Fredericks, percussionist Nengue Hernandez (a protégé of the legendary Mongo Santamaria) and the percussion/vocal duo Vas (Greg Ellis and Azam Ali), Bembe Orisha is a globe-trotting cultural amalgam.

	Music from the Hawkwind family tree - Part 6
		At this stage, Bedouin was an idea more than a band and this album misses the dynamics and feel of a real band.
		There are probably two reasons for preferring this album to some other largely instrumental albums by Hawkwind alumni, like Harvey’s own “Interstellar Chaos” or the Paradogs’ “Foul Play at the Earth Lab”: firstly it’s quite pleasant to listen to and, secondly, it doesn’t seem to take itself too seriously.
		Hawkwind fans are perhaps best advised to skip these tracks: the music is played fairly faithfully but the vocals (at least they are not by Nik) are dreadful and an unnecessary spoken part is introduced into “Golden Void”.

		As other Dead members moved on, with RatDog, the TriChromes, Mystery Box and Bembe Orisha, his band, which began as a sort of revolving-door repertoire company, kept the Dead's song catalog current, sating a fan base that never could settle on a substitute.
		The new lineup blends players from Lesh's band and Weir's, with the four core survivors of the early, definitive Dead: Lesh, Weir, Hart and Kreutzmann.
		Although the band has not talked about recording, and has no plans past the year's end - Lesh will go solo again, taking Herring and Barraco with him - the players insist this is no nostalgia trip.
