Thank Olodumare for Baba Lazaro Ros.......2006-02-17

Baba Lazaros is passed away now to my understanding. But he leaves behind several great pieces of music that will make him name remembered forever. I only wished I could have heard him play live! This is a wonderful CD. Devotees and Priests WILL feel the Orisa moving through this selection of songs.

Caution! Meditation with this cd can cause possesions!.......2000-04-29

Turn the lights off, light a seven colored candle, and make sure to wear white clothing. You are about to enter the world of the Orisha! Lazaro's voice will put you in a trance, like you have never felt befor. Don't be surprised if you have the desire to smoke a Cuban Cigar, or the erge to drink Puerto Rican Rum. It's only natural when the Orisha are near.

The Beautiful Batá drums and voice music.......2000-03-21

This is a great album. And the drums of Carlos Aldama are unique. Dont think so much in buying this record. It is great

AMAZING, Spiritually Guided Work.......2000-03-18

Once again an amazing work that speaks of the Orisa, their mysteries & power. This is a haunting, exciting & powerful work that would be beautiful for prayer, worship & just listening! Anyone that practices or studies the African religions should invest in this. I have heard many of his other works, and this is one his best! A gifted man with a pure connection to beauty & truth...

Superior Santeria Music.......1998-07-15

Lazaro Ros' crip-clear, melodic voice meets authentic Santeria songs to produce one of the finest sets of Santeria music I've ever listened. This album should be a classic to lovers of Santeria music. It has both high artistic and religious value. I highly recommended.

Absolutely Outstanding! I love this CD........2004-01-11

I listened to the sound clips, many times, then purchased the CD. I am very happy that I decided to purchase this item! I have completely lost count of how many times I have played "Songs for Elegua."

I am not a trained Vodou / Voodoo practitioner, but I have been working with it on my own, via book knowledge and personal experience, for a year or so. I began, studying the subject from an Anthropological perspective, and "Songs for Elegua" seems to correspond with the research I have done, so-far. Regardless, it works.

When I played the CD, the atmosphere changed, and I really enjoyed the rhythem, chanting and drum beats of the music.

Personally, I just enjoy the music, aside from the context, as well--the music is soothing, yet powerful.

Superior Elegua Songs.......1998-07-15

I think Elegua himself has blessed Lazaro's "Song's for Elegua". With this work Lazaro has left a legacy of authentic santeria music of Elegua. Followers of the Cuban Santeria religion and "aleyos" alike will be fascinated by this piece of work engraved by Lazaro's fine voice. You'll enjoy it...
