TECHNE or TÈCHNĒ from Amsterdam offers us this energetic trip with a dance rhythm, pressing grooves are the scene for this TECHNO track made for dancing, the time has come to make the techne signature feel like a flagship among the percussion rhythms that blend into sharp synths. Shango (also transcribed as Sango, Xangô, Chango and in other variants)is an important orisha (god or demigod) of Yoruba mythology. It is mainly associated with the Oyo ethnic group, of which it is a mythical ancestor. It is a powerful deity, associated with fire and thunder, and also plays an important role in African-American cults derived from the Yoruba religion, such as candomblé, santeria and voodoo. Yoruba oral tradition describes Shango as king of the Oyo Empire, son of the founding king Oranian and his wife Torosi. Historically, this would place his life around the 15th century. His reign is remembered as a time of great prosperity, during which the empire grew to unify all of the Yoruba people. In the mythological and religious transposition, this prosperity is reflected in the typical magnificence of the Shango cult rituals, rich in different colors, shapes and symbols. Shango is associated with fire, lightning and thunder; he has a violent and vindictive character, hunter and looter, virile and courageous; he is an avenger, and punishes liars, thieves and criminals. For these characteristics, both in colonial and post-colonial times Shango was frequently considered as the symbol of the struggle of blacks against oppression by whites. Depending on the traditions, Shango is counted as the son of the mother goddess Yemaja or of Obatala, messenger and intermediary of the gods, who would have conceived him with Aganju, lord of the river. He had numerous wives and mistresses, among which the figures of Obá (the first wife), Oxum (the second) and Oya (the favorite wife) stand out. Shango is often represented with a weapon called Oxê, a double axe, which represents the quick and effective action of justice. In the altars in honor of Shango there is often a sculpture representing a woman with a calm and detached gaze who gives this weapon to the god-hero. In the Yoruba cult of Shango, masks with the appearance of a rams head are often employed. This element has led several researchers, including Basil Davidson[1] to postulate a link between the Yoruba culture and that of Kush, in which the ram had a fundamental symbolic role. Shangos sacred number is six. Traditional tales The conception of Shango by Obatala is the subject of a Yoruba tale. It is said that one day Aganju did not want to give Obatala permission to cross the river. The latter tried to get around the ban by transforming herself into a pleasant woman and letting herself be circumvented by Aganju, and Shango was conceived from their union. Another traditional account of Shangos childhood and youth describes his encounter with his father in the woods. Aganju did not recognize it, and tried to kill it to eat it. The orixa Oya, realizing the danger, ran to warn Obatala, who was originally the lady of lightning; Obatala transferred his power to Oya, and she saved Shango by setting fire to the forest. Shango would later become a firelord himself.[2] In syncretic religions In syncretic religions in which each traditional deity is identified with a saint of the Christian tradition, Xangô is generally identified with Saint Jerome, Saint Jude Thaddeus. In Cuba in particular it is identified with Santa Barbara. demo [email protected] hastag techne @technedj @techneproject #technetechno #technotechne #retteesegmenti #tobedizioni #digdis
