Description
Recorded in Havana, this is a Santera ceremony to honor and evoke Eleggu. Eleggu is known as a multisided trickster and gatekeeper. A 'giro', which refers to the shaker instrument also refers to the ceremony and style of music. These events occur frequently in Havana using giros (also refered to as abwes and chekeres), a conga and a bell (usually played on a hoe blade call 'guataca'). This type of ceremony is very similar to what some call a 'bembe'. This CD is over 79 minutes long and covers the most important aspects of this event. Also available as a two CD set of the entire ceremony.
