Los Muñequitos de Matanzas continually put out amazing albums, and this one has to be one of their most unique and most exciting. Ordinarily, GOOD Orisha songs are hard to find - this album not only has incredible batá drumming, but the vocalists harmonize beautifully (a real rarity.) The first time I heard this album I got chills on my arms, indeed the Orishas are praised with this moving album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended!!!, April 4, 2003

My first cd that I had ever purchased by Los Munequitos de Matanzas was `Oyelos De Nuevo" and that cd although not directly Orisha Spiritual music, that cd blew my mind. So being a Leo, and as Leos are we have to get everything, that a certain artist has. So I purchased this cd, and of course being an Aborisha, a devotee to the Orisha Spiritual tradition, I was pleased to hear traditional and folkloric Afro-Cuban Santeria toques, batas, and cantos. My favorite track always seams to be the ones for Chango, and of course the one for Oggun. Which is a mix of Lukumi Chants mixed with some Spanish words. This cd, is just beautiful, and I highly have to recommend it.
