about

Opanijé is the sacred song played for the Orixá Omolú, which is traditionally accompanied by a dramatic dance, expressing the duality and ephemerality of reality. The melody of the sax symbolizes the Orixá, telling his story through the movement of the melody, in the same way that the deity utilises dance in the candomblé ceremony. The music emerges from the energy of the drums following the different stages of the ritual. It shows the power of life and healing, honoring Omolú, passing through the moments of our existences, and of our spiritual evolution. The beginning represents the beauty of life and the importance of healing, while the long subdued break exploring the depths of disease and fever. The end marks the return to health through healing.
“Opanijé” é o toque sagrado entoado para o orixá Omolú, que é acompanhado por uma
dança dramática, dialogando com a dualidade e efemeridade das coisas. A melodia do sax
simboliza o orixá presente, contando sua história através do movimento do som, assumindo
o papel do orixá incorporado na festa de candomblé. A música surgiu de dentro do toque
dos atabaques seguindo o ritual. É a potência da vida e da cura homenageando Omolú,
passando pelas nuances de nossas existências, pelos “ires e vires” de nossa evolução espiritual.O início é força da vida e da cura homenageando Omulú e as paradas rítmicas, representam a doença e morte. O fim marca a volta à cura e a saúde.
