Below are versions of the same song done by Lazaro Ros, Percussionists and Choro. Ros is a beloved Afro Cuban Akpon and revered ancestor. He sang Orisha songs all his life and performed them on a series of CDs between 2000 and 2002. These recordings include hundreds of traditional Afro Cuban Lucumi Orisha songs. The three we are learning are found on the cd ORISHA AYE, OSHUN.
