Ponto de Oxalá - Onisa Ure

Juliana D Passos Juliana D Passos

A Spiritual Journey Through the Chant of Oxalá

Juliana D Passos' song "Ponto de Oxalá - Onisa Ure" is a deeply spiritual and culturally rich piece that draws from Afro-Brazilian religious traditions, particularly Candomblé. The lyrics are repetitive and chant-like, which is characteristic of many traditional songs used in religious ceremonies. The repetition of phrases such as "Oni saurê" and "Aul axé babá" serves to create a meditative and trance-inducing atmosphere, which is essential in rituals aimed at connecting with the divine.

The term "Oxalá" refers to one of the most important deities in the Candomblé pantheon, often associated with creation, purity, and peace. The word "axé" is a Yoruba term that signifies life force or spiritual energy, which is a central concept in many Afro-Brazilian religions. By invoking Oxalá and calling for axé, the song seeks to channel divine energy and blessings. The use of the word "babá," which means father, further emphasizes the reverence and respect for the deity being invoked.

The song's structure and lyrical content reflect the communal and participatory nature of Candomblé rituals. These ceremonies often involve singing, dancing, and drumming, creating a powerful collective experience. Juliana D Passos' rendition captures this essence, inviting listeners to partake in a spiritual journey that transcends the mundane and connects them with the sacred. The song is not just a piece of music but a spiritual tool that fosters a sense of unity and reverence among its participants.
