NINA FARINA

Grrr fark has this listed under scary which kinda pisses me off as Vodun/Voodoo isn't scary if you know what it is. I can't fault fark for being ignorant though, it is hard to get to the truth.

Aaayeee Babo!

And in honor of Voodoo day I post an excerpt from Sonia Sanchez's "Aaaaayeee Babo (Praise God)"

Come
where the drum speaks
come tongued by fire and water and bone
come praise God and
Ogun and Shango and
Olukun and Oya and
Jesus
Come praise our innocense
our decision to be human
reenter the spirit of morning doves
and our God is near
I say our God is near
I say our God is near
Aaaaayeee babo Aaaaayeee babo Aaaaayeee babo
(Praise God).
