Oxum
By
Aco Takenaka

Today’s trip to the wonderful world of new age vocal music
was provided by the new fresh and exciting single called Oxum, recorded and gifted to the planet by the quite breath taking Aco Takenaka. Here is a new
manifestation that will light up the genre, and this pastiche of a blended
global music perspective is an inspired homage to water in its entirety.
This vibrant new offering fly’s on the winds of a gracious
tomorrow, Oxum is the female Orixá
of love and beauty, and is the only female Orixá believed to have participated
in the creation of the world. She overlaps with many of the other Orixá, with
dominion over fresh water, fish, mermaids, and butterflies.
She embodies the natural energy of fresh water, and is
usually invoked close to water sources; the constant stream that runs through
this piece is quite beautifully layered and juxtaposes the theme and the music
with perfect balance, the marimba and light percussion dances in a crystal
chamber of stunning harmony with the blissful vocals of the artist.
The rhythm is perfection, the tonal delights utterly magical;
now watch out for this song, Oxum is
a single from the forthcoming album Ancient
Seeds, so even more glorious music is on its way, and this one is a certain
chart hit with ease for Aco Takenaka
and Oxum, its spectacular, beautiful
and picturesque.
