"iMoremi"
from the new album "Oriojori – Eternal Spirits"

This song celebrates the selfless sacrifice of Yoruba matriarch and heroine, Moremi, who gave her only child, Oluorogbo, as a sacrifice to save her people. Today, Oluorogbo is a prominent deity.

“Mother calls and I hearken
She bemoans her loss,
“He that I gave that the Earth may know peace
My only one whom I gave up for you
My beloved son, Oluorogbo, ascends into immortality”
Descend, mother, descend
Descend, Moremi, descend
She mourns, she wails, she calls
Olurogbo lives forever…”
