LEANA SONG:  ORISHA LOVE SONGS VOL.2, Oru Cantado

 

Shawn Hennessey’s project, Leana Song, is a fusion of Afro-Cuban Orisha songs with electronic, folk and jazz.  This second volume, “Orisha Love Song Vol.2 - Oru Cantado’ presents new arrangements of 19 traditional Orisha songs, with Batá drums at the center.  The arrangements are electro-folkloric, and draw influences from samba, house, trap, and experimental.  This new album features Bakithi Kumalo, Paul Simon’s long time bass player, folkloric singer Naivis Angarica, recorded in Cuba, and gospel-latin pianist Orlando Fiol.  Recorded entirely in Ableton Live, Shawn plays the guitars, layers vocals, sequences beats, and plays over 100 different percussion instruments, to form this homegrown amalgamation of Afro-Folk.
