 Sacred Sounds: Belief and Society
Among the wide range of human expressive behavior, the capacity to infuse the joys, sorrows, and humility that characterize religious and spiritual beliefs into oral poetry, chants, songs, and instrumental music is certainly one of the most powerful and inspirational ways all peoples and cultures acknowledge the spirit of the Supreme in their lives.
Although secular and sacred are terms used to distinguish worldly and temporal concerns from the realm of the universal and the eternal, sacred sounds are not necessarily restricted to formal settings in which religious rituals are performed for followers.
In the case of Santería, song, instrumental music (orus), and dance are as central to the basic character of the religious ritual as the spoken word is in other religions.

Also, the soloist chooses a delivery that is way too Broadway for the song — instead of an ethereal, almost medieval sound the song changes into something more akin to Les Miserables.
At times too it seems the group can't back down from their more daring sounds, and as a result blend (especially within the voices) falters on some tunes; as if each member spends so much time doing his or her on thing it's difficult to combine.

 Comments
If a real song were playing, and the only notes that made up the song were those four (a strange song, but consider it hypothetically), and I knew that that was the case, I'm confident I could identify the pitches in real time, and hear the vowel sounds passing by as the pitches occurred.

These lyrics are not unlike those interpreted by La Lupe in her song “La Tirana/The Tyrant” from the album La Lupe: Reina de la canción Latina/Queen of Latin Soul, produced in 1968 (Tico Records).

This song is a SCARY trip down the river of sanity.
Their self titled album is their most famous album, filled with such well known songs as "What I Got","Santeria", and "Wrong Way".The album is a mixture of reggae,hip-hop, and some punk, similar to the debut but much, much more focused and less "jammy".
The spontaneity of the debut will be missed by hardcore fans, and theres just something about the way the songs on it(Ruca,Badfish,DJ's..) gel together, blending different styles of music, that is missing and makes it less fun.They still are a capable band on this release, however, and it still delivers the goods overall.
