Irma Ferreira

The album “Em Cantos de Oriṣà” (Oriṣà Chants) by the Brazilian singer Irma Ferreira, shows some of the beauty of the Afro-brazilian religious repertoire of the Candomblé, in a junction between tradition and contemporary music. Through the songs for the Oriṣàs, the album walks between music making and religiosity and brings this ancestral magic to the listener.
In addition to Irma Ferreira’s voice “Em Cantos de Oriṣà” is produced by Sebastian Notini, also playing different instruments, percussion by Ogã Luan Badaró, guitar by Ruan de Souza and a small traditional Candomblé choir formed by Angélica Ferreira, Everton Neves, Luan Badaró and Jota Oliveira. It also features the wind instruments of Ari Haraldsson, in addition to the phonetic revision of the historian and researcher of Afro-brazilian religious culture Everton Neves.
The album was released on ajabu! records in June 2023.
