osunlade - yoruba priest - produces music that makes thousands of people want to dance.
behind his music are spiritual messages rooted in yoruba ifa beliefs. on 'my reflection', the lyrics remind me of an ancient southern african belief called ubuntu. ubuntu means: i am, because you are, because we are. it speaks to the connectedness of all of us, all things living. we are all made of the same stuff, called life. indeed we are all a reflection of each other...
you are my reflection
you are all that i need to survive
if i don't breathe you don't exist
if i don't call you by your name i have misrepresented my soul
i call on you
i wake you up in me.
osunlade - my reflection
thank you saint-bioz
