5.0 out of 5 stars A masterwork of cultural ethnomusicology, August 10, 2002

This review is from: Oru: The Natural Order (Audio CD)

Oru: The Natural Order is a masterwork of cultural ethnomusicology and the result of an impressive collaborative effort by renowned flutists Gary Stroutsos and Danilo Lozano. Showcasing a heritage of Yoruba music (each of the eight racks comprising Oru: The Natural Order is named after a Yoruba deity) positioned to reflect a progressive natural order inherent in the heart of the Yoruba and Afro-Cuban cosmology. An enthusiastically recommended addition to any Caribbean or Cuban enthomusic collection, Oru: The Natural Order includes: Eleggua (4:26); Ogun (3:39); Babalu Aye (6:12); Ochun (6:43); Yemaya (7:38); Chango (7:39); Oya (6:00); and the solo flute piece Eleggua (5:34).
