ONE LOVE Devotional Chant: Music
Yemaya Assessu
Yemaya Assessu Assessu Yemaya Yemaya Olodo Olodo Yemaya
We learned this beautiful song from Deva Premal. Yemaya is the Yoruban Orisha of the living ocean, considered the Mother of All. She is the source of all the waters, especially the River Ogun. As all life is thought to have begun in the sea, all life is held to have begun with Yemaya. She is motherly and strongly protective, and cares deeply for all Her children, comforting them and cleansing them of sorrow.
