Summoning the Loas: The Fire of Ogou Feray
The group was able to invoke the essence of the loas, the revered spirits of Haitian Vodou, and it was with incandescent energy that the fire of Ogou Feray burst forth, vibrating through each note and each drum beat. Ogou Feray, the powerful loa of iron and war, inspires palpable strength and determination in the music of Nanm Vodou. His battle songs and invocations resonated deeply, reminding listeners of the resilience and power of the Haitian spirit.
The names of loas such as Erzulie, the goddess of love and beauty, and Baron Samedi, the guardian of cemeteries and master of the spirits of the dead, were omnipresent during this evening. Erzulie brought her gentleness and compassion through captivating melodies, while Baron Samedi, with his deep laugh and mischievous charm, added a touch of mystery and black magic.
