Dies Moyuba (MP3) from "A Requiem with Intention"
Listen to this track NOW!
I wrote "A Requiem with Intention" in February, 2005 for sampler, keyboards, and voice.
There are three movements:
1. Dowse it Away
2. Synchronicities
3. Dies Moyuba
This is another ritual finale. The last movement opens in a FREE TANGO structure and then turns quasi-liturgical and includes samples of my voice and of Jai Michael, a consecrated priest, chanting a Santeria (an Afro-Cuban religion) ritual prayer called the "Moyuba" (a prayer honouring).
The latin word DIES ("The Day of") is used as an abbreviation of "Dies Irae" ("Day of Judgment"), a traditional movement within the requiem mass. The traditional theme of the DIES IRAE is also incorporated into the piece.
Enjoy!

Moyuba only vaguely, kinda means "prayer honouring;" my Elders were clearly using a Spanish word that would not translate into English as "prayer honouring." However, if you had the good fortune to work with an actual initiate, you will have noticed as many ethnigraphores have found. the intense secrecy of Santeria priest/s and their penchant for misleading the dabblers and Margarate Meed-mode anthropoligists with an answer that an outsider might accept as true or @ least plausible, while they really are disembling their blood-magick religion, keeping truths for initiates while fobbing off wooden nickles to outsiders. Whippler's slew of popularizing/sensationalizing books get "facts" directly from initiates and are each & every one filled with "truths" that will by force lead a seeker into a maze that has no outlet in The Truth About Santeria. As more resesrchers fall for this form of protection of what are value & sacred secets of La Religión, outsider's "understanding" really is a created untruth that keeps Tweedle Dumber exacerbating the hook, line & sinker Tweedel Dum swallowed.
Do you know the language in which the word "moyuba" is used? Is it a word in Spanish or some other language?

"Moyuba" is derived from the Yoruba "Mo juba" means, "to pay homage." The "j" is usually corrupted as the "y" sound going from Yoruba phonetics to Spanish.
