LIVING THE SPIRIT OF THE ORISHAS
SUNSET LIVE MUSIC WITH @AFROSIDERAL
Drawing inspiration from Hip-Hop, Jazz, Experimental Music, and Tropical Electronica, he crafts hypnotic soundwaves under the vast canopy of Afro-music. A ceremonial aura takes over the stage, inviting audiences to move from meditative states into trance. The Orishas are spiritual deities from the Yoruba tradition, embodying the forces of nature—like rivers, storms, and the Earth itself. Through powerful chants, ancestral rhythms, and movement, we’ll honor these energies, celebrating life and deepening our connection to the world around us.
AFROSIDERAL is one of the most renowned musicians in the world’s leading spiritual festivals, including Bali Spirit Festival and Colibri Fest.
LIVING THE SPIRIT OF THE ORISHAS
PRIOR TO THE LIVE MUSIC AIDA WILL HOST A SACRED DANCE WORKSHOPS WITH LEAVES
Somatic, Feminine and Latin dance teacher since more than 14 years in Spain, Thailand and Bali. In addition the last 3 years has become yoga and meditation instructor. HER specialty lies in blending Latin dance styles, with a foundational focus on the rich movements of Afro-Cuban Yoruba dance. For many years, my connection with Cuba has been a journey to learn its dance and culture, but it was through the dance of the Orishas that she truly found my most spiritual self. The Orishas are spiritual deities from the Yoruba tradition, embodying the forces of nature—like rivers, storms, and the Earth itself. Through powerful chants, ancestral rhythms, and movement, we’ll honor these energies, celebrating life and deepening our connection to the world around us.
Last year, surrounded by the vast rice fields and nature of Bali, she began to feel the call to bring these movements to life with leaves, praying for guidance on my new path. I honored the Yoruba tradition, incorporating habanero leaves as a symbol of the Balinese landscape, blending the two worlds. And from this, a new dance was born—what I call the SACRED DANCE WITH LEAVES—a prayer, a connection to the other realms, rooted in Cuban culture, on one of the most sacred lands I’ve ever encountered: the land of the gods, Bali
