5.0 out of 5 stars
Translations of Santeria songs & lots more - very impressive,
By A Customer
This review is from: Orin Orisa: Songs for Selected Heads (Paperback)
This is a huge, impressive book that provides a wealth of knowledge most of which you can't find in print in English anywhere else. It has background on Yoruba religion and Santeria, bata drumming in Cuba and America, and translations of many many songs. Also photos, etc. Some people will argue with some of the translations, but nobody can say this book doesn't add enormously to what's published in English on what has been an esoteric & oral tradition.

5.0 out of 5 stars
much-needed comprehensive compendium,
By Bo Razon (Manila, Philippines) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Orin Orisa: Songs for Selected Heads (Paperback)
finally a clear, cohesive compendium to the songs and chants of the Orisha tradition and well-researched vital information on the tradition of the sacred bata drums / for someone like myself, an Ocha initiate who lives in Asia, thousands of miles from Africa, Cuba and the US, this is a resource godsend --

ORIN ORISA - a MUST have,
By tribalmajik@juno.com (Bloomington, IN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Orin Orisa: Songs for Selected Heads (Paperback)
To anyone that practices within the Ifa'Orisa community, this book is a jewel. It is not often that one stumbles upon a book rich with knowledge & standing strong in it's research & presentation. Mr. Mason has taken his years of practice & translated these beautiful songs to call the Orisa. I can only say that this is probably one of the BEST books I have ever seen on the Orisa tradition! Mr. Mason is to be thanked time & time again for his amazing contribution of this community! ASE!
