about

Yemanja is revered across many cultures - West Africa, Brazil, Cuba --
She has a variety of different pronunciations of her name: yemonja, llemaya, yemana, yomoja, yemaya.. many more

The mantra in the song is written in the ancient West African language of Yoruba.

Yemanjá is a major water spirit from the Yoruba religion. She is the mother of all Orishas. She is an orisha, in this case, patron spirit of rivers, particularly the Ogun River in Nigeria; and oceans in Cuban and Brazilian orisa religions.

She is celebrated as the giver of life and as the metaphysical mother of all orisha (deities) within the Yoruba spiritual pantheon.

Yemanjá is often depicted as a mermaid and is associated with the moon (in some diaspora communities), water, and feminine mysteries. She is the protector of women. She governs everything pertaining to women; parenting, child safety, love, and healing.
