Exu from AYOM ALBUM by Ayom
"In the album opener Esu (Exú in Portuguese) Timoteo's Afro Brazilian drum, the zabumba, drives the trip like a religious ceremony and Jabu's repetitive vocals represent the chanting of Yoruba culture and the orixás."Esu is the orisha of communication, the messenger who opens the way.This song intertwines the sweetness of the song that comes from the soul with the communication power of the drums. A prayer in Yoruba, called oriki, full of symbolism, offers an invitation to the mystical universe that permeates the creative process of the band.

Ésu,ésu ódárá,

okunrin ori ita a jo langa langa lalu

Ode ibi ija de mole
Ija ni otaru ba d’ele ife
To di de omo won
Oro ésu, to to to akoni
Ao fi ida re lale
Esu ma se mi o
Esu ma se mi o
