Candomblé music is a deeply spiritual and rhythmic genre that originates from the Afro-Brazilian religious tradition of the same name. It is characterized by its use of traditional African percussion instruments, such as the atabaque (drums) and the agogô (bell), which combine to create compelling polyrhythmic beats. The music is integral to Candomblé ceremonies, aiming to invoke orixás (deities) through songs sung in Yoruba, Fon, or Bantu languages, depending on the specific African lineage. The lyrics often recount sacred stories and express veneration for the orixás. Artists like Xirê Àlágbé and Jorge Alabe maintain these traditions, serving a dual role as cultural custodians preserving the authentic sound of candomblé music and as conduits for the spiritual essence that defines the genre.
