"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..."
Absolutely Outstanding! I love this CD.

"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."
