well there are many ... ( 6 months ago by traveler813)
well there are many different patakis and in fact there is a pataki where Chango or Sango or Shango hung himself such as there is one where he hid from his people so that they would appreciate him more and so on and so forth and this is not made up by myself or anyone else this said in Ifa.
So saying that he ... ( 6 months ago by traveler813)
So saying that he did hang himself is not entirely wrong and as any Yoruba or Lucumi practitioner knows each song has a different dance which pertains to either a different pataki or different "path" of that orisha,now I havn't really listened to the song in detail but there is a song speaking of that very incident where he did hang himself.Once again these are patakis in Ifa that tell the stories of the Orishas

For Yoruba speakers who wanted a transcript of Sango's oriki, here it is: "Baale Koso, ariwo dola. Ina loju. Ina lenu. Gba bi ina jo l'aaro. O wolu baale lo ko kesi. Eye kekere a bi ohun tin-n-rere. Sun mo etile. Ma maa duro ni bode o. Sango Alade, to rele ana re duro. Igba ojule lo su si ko to malo. Inu mi run mi. O je koko gbegiri mefa. Orogbo ni e wa. Sango ko ni je obi o." I did my best to translate into English by adding annotations!

Thanks. I've been working with these artists (as an anthropologist and friend) since 1990. My book about them came out last Fall, Yoruba Bata Goes Global. Then, I decided to learn FinalCut so that I could do something with all the video footage (in video 8) that I had collected over the years. This was my first attempt at putting some of that footage together. I hope to make a longer documentary in the near future! Your feedback is much appreciated.

The Oricha Shango, ... ( 1 month ago by Zaragemca)
The Oricha Shango, was not a Yoruba Deity, in Africa...Neither the people in Oyo or Nupe,(the truly land of Shango),new anything about the Batas)..Shango,is a Hausa-word,which mean, Worrior...It was in Cuba,(Not Nigeria),where the ceremony to integrated Shango into the Yorubass Religion took place....Dr. Zaragemca
1.) Not so, sir! ... ( 1 week ago by Outreachat)
1.) Not so, sir! Nupe, his mother's birthplace, was the place where Sango hoped to seek asylum after he was forced into abdication from ancient Oyo. According to legend his wife Oya turned into the River Niger, incidentally a critical landmark between Yorubaland proper and Nupeland, which has durable Yoruba roots. "Zungo", "sungo", or "sango" is an Hausa word for a travellers' camp, also known as Sabo, now any district for Hausas in any town away from home; it does not refer to the god.
Brother Outreachat, ... ( 4 days ago by Zaragemca)
Brother Outreachat,I would like to ask some questions to anybody which think they know about Yorubas..Which is the real name of Sango?...Which was the society which developed the Batas in Yorubaland?.... When the Bata was incorporated into the Yorubas ceromonies?..(Gerry Zaragemca is a world's known authority in Afrocuban Percussion and Music).
3.) ... of Ogun: ... ( 21 hours ago by Outreachat)
3.) ... of Ogun: Ire kii se ile Ogun; o ya ki won l'agbede, o wa m'emu ni. (Ire was not Ogun's hometown; he merely stopped by there at the forge, to imbibe some palmwine.) Ogun is normally hailed as Ogun Onire, i.e., Owner of Ire. The Yoruba normally will not claim a foreign influence as theirs, but will honour it. The Yoruba are unique for the tonal range that their drums must produce in order to reflect the discourse between music and language that their drumming tradition is founded upon.
