Review by LIEVRE YVANN

Santero Afro Cuban Cult Music: A Soul-Stirring Dive into Afro-Cuban Spirituality Let’s get straight to it—Santero Afro Cuban Cult Music isn’t just an album; it’s a journey. Released under Panart and featuring legends like Celia Cruz and Mercedes Váldes, this gem dives deep into the spiritual heart of Afro-Cuban culture. Sure, some tracks are by unknown artists, but honestly? That adds to its raw charm. The genre is Latin, the style unmistakably Afro-Cuban, and the vibe? Pure magic. Now, I gotta talk about two tracks that hit me right in the feels: "Yemayá" and "Prayers To (a) Changó (b) Ochún." First up, Yemayá. Man, this one feels like standing at the edge of the ocean during sunset—calm yet overwhelming all at once. Yemayá, the orisha of motherhood and water, gets her due here with rhythms so hypnotic they feel alive. It’s not just music—it’s prayer wrapped in percussion. You can almost picture waves crashing as the drums echo through your chest. Every time I listen, I swear I hear whispers of gratitude from ancestors you didn’t even know you had. Wild, right? Then there’s "Prayers To (a) Changó (b) Ochún." This track is fire—literally. Changó, the badass orisha of thunder, meets Ochún, goddess of love and rivers, in what feels like a cosmic showdown of vibes. One moment, you’re riding high on fiery batá drums for Changó, and the next, you’re melting into sweet, honeyed melodies for Ochún. It’s chaotic, beautiful, and kinda makes you wanna dance while crying. Like…how do you even process emotions like that? What really stands out about this album is how unapologetically real it feels. There’s no glossing over traditions or watering down spirituality for mass appeal. Instead, it pulls you into a world where every drumbeat tells a story, every chant carries weight, and every note feels sacred. Even the unknown artists bring something special—a sense of mystery, like voices carried across generations. By the end of the album, you start thinking…is this music, or is it medicine? Honestly, maybe both. Listening to Santero Afro Cuban Cult Music, you don’t just hear sounds—you feel them. And when it’s over, you’re left sitting there, kinda stunned, wondering if your coffee table just became an altar. Weird thought, huh? But hey, that’s the power of this album. It sneaks up on you, grabs your soul, and doesn’t let go.
