Translation of “Macho” – First Movement
The singer is Machito.
Machito and the musicians, especially the bata drummers, are evoking the Orisha.
“ ‘Boru ‘buya,” a contraction of the Yorùbá-Cuban greeting “ìbo rú di (ì)’bo ye,” routinely bestowed upon high priests, or babalawo in Cuba. The phrase’s literal meaning is: “The sacrifice that is carried becomes the sacrifice that is suitable.” (Source: “Machito and His Afro-Cubans: Selected Transcriptions”)
“Ashe. Mucho ashe.” – Creative force. Much creative force.
“Suerte y salud para todos mis hermanos.” – Luck and health to all my brothers.
Elegua – Orisha of beginning, of crossroads, of doorways, of fate
Babalu Aye (San Lazaro) – Orisha of the healing spirit, protector of the weak and the ill
Yemaya – Orisha of the Ocean’s surface, of love, fertility and family
Shango – Orisha of thunder, drumming, dancing, fire and male virility
Oshun – Orisha of beauty and sexuality
Obatala – Sky Father and creator of Orishas and human beings, rules all
– Ken McCarthy
