about

Inspired by the song Nanã Buruku by:

This song born as a manifestation of the grandmother's influence to teach the man through her actions how to stand in their true power. Inspired by my year long living in Brazil- and music from an unbordered world.
As men face changes and challenges never treated this way - this song is the representation of sacred balance of masculine and feminine strength that is cultivated by the spirit of the grandmother - who is a part of us all.

Nana is the great grandmother of all the Orishas and although she is praised more in Candomble than in Santeria, her fame is starting to rise more and more each day. She is in charge of all maternal issues pertaining to females and is the spirit of earth and moon.
A wise old woman that likes to tend to herself while watching over the Earth and her grandchildren.

lyrics

They had called me a sheep of this land
but I am no lamb to your plan
I will walk to the edge and stand

I prefer to stand in my silence
turn violence to embers of burning
these blessings into dance

Nanã she is the grandma of swamps
in the forest holds space for the forces
turning lamenting into man

I see you in the darkened woods young man
do not let the media tell you
what you could and should and wouldn’t

Stand in your power
young man

Stand in your power
young man


Meu cantar
Vibram as forças de susten a sua vivir
Oh my song it is vibrations for the
Leaders in us all

I am grandma grandmamma aye
I am grandma grandmamma aye

Sou de nanã ewa ewa ewa é
Sou de nanã ewa ewa ewa é

Stand in your power
Stand in Your Power
young man
