Lemba Dilê from Receita by Isa-Bel & Duo Atlântico
In the Brazilian song 'Lemba Dilê', the Yoruba words in the lyrics add an element of mystery and connection to African cultural traditions. The narrator invokes a space of celebration and joy, asking the host of the party, the 'lemba dilê', to enter. The song evokes rhythms and elements of Afro-Brazilian culture, such as the 'canjerê' (profane dance of blacks), the 'canjá' (acoustic box), and the 'sambalelê' (ring song), demonstrating the narrator's longing to participate in these cultural manifestations. Evoking ritual dance elements, he want to play in the 'bangulê' (a type of Jongo accompanied by claps and cuica), and the reference to 'mungunzá' (corn porridge) suggests the desire to share food and experiences in community.
