It's been quite a journey since Orishas released their first album 'A Lo Cubano' in Spain in May 1999. Lauded by the press throughout Europe ever since it came out, the group launched into a marathon tour that started in summer 1999. From clubs to festivals, the European tour stretched out to just over two years with evening performances of their music catalogue at the Olympia, the Ancienne Belgique and the Royal Festival Hall in England. They were to play at the most prestigious festivals in Europe like the Lowlands (Holland), where they topped the bill along with groups like Deftones and Cypress Hill, and the Roskilde (Denmark), where they brewed up a storm alongside groups as disparate as Tool and Wyclef Jean. Orishas also performed in the year 2000 at festivals like the Paleo Nyon Festival, the La Rochelle Francofolies and Pop Kom.
The group gradually acquired international standing, and after conquering Europe they went on to win over the United States in November 2000, with the American press unanimous in its acclaim: articles and reviews in Time, Rolling Stone, The Source, Vibe ,... Little by little they became an essential live band, capable of sharing the stage with artists as diverse as Compay Segundo, Orquestra Aragon, Iggy Pop, Cypress Hill, Macy Gray and Marcus Miller. Orishas paid their dues on the road and left Europe to take part in various jazz festivals in Canada and South Africa, dropping in on Brazil and Mexico. Orishas left no doubt that their musical fusion, unique in its genre, enables them to break the frontiers of style and to be equally at home in front of a latino, hip hop, pop or rock audience.
December saw their triumphal return to Cuba, where they had occupied the top slots of the radio charts for months and where they gave two concerts that brought together tens of thousands of young Cubans. They had come full circle, because after touring the world Orishas' dream finally came true: playing in front of their families and the people of Cuba.
Collaborations came thick and fast, with Roldan Gonzalez appearing on various French rap albums (Kerry James) or international rap albums (Dari, Da Weasel / Portugal).
After more than 200 concerts worldwide, the group decided to get back to song writing in August 2001. It was only to be expected that they would start working together again with the French producer and composer Niko Noki, (Passi, Bisso Na Bisso), who along with Roldan Gonzalez had been responsible for the tracks on the first album. He in turn engaged the services of a young composer of the future, DJ Mig-One, who had two albums with his group Starflam under his belt. They strung several studio sessions together between Belgium and Paris to knock up no fewer than twenty tracks. In November 2001 the group was ready at last to go back into the studio proper to record the successor to A Lo Cubano. They opted for the EMI studio in Paris, where the cream of Cuban musicians gathered at the group's behest to immortalise the songs of the Emigrante album. The group had matured and learned a great deal from touring the world, the subjects are more profound and given a more international treatment. Having had their eyes opened by the big world has had a visible impact on their writing. As on the first album, Miko Niko is in charge of musical production and most of the tracks, DJ Mig One has penned 3 compositions that underpin the plurality of their influences. The album was mixed at the Polygone studio in Toulouse under the auspices of Mario Rodriguez (Notorious B.I.G., Public Enemy, Mobb Deep, Fonky Family, 113...). Once again the alchemy is perfect. The new album sees the return of two very talented artists and long-standing friends of the group: Passi on La Vida Passa and Yuri Buenaventura on 300 Kg de Rap.
The new album has a pan-European release on April 22, 2002 and is being promoted in a tour that takes in more than ten countries before being presented on the stages of the major European festivals this summer.

Orishas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuidar tu hijo como fiera
Por verlo crecer, jugar, correr
Indiscutiblemente sin dinero aja ¿qué puedes hacer?
Buscando siempre las opciones, sin soluciones
Llorando sin dejarte ver esos temores
Y en desventaja, el cuerpo raja, deja sus huellas
El corazón opaca, vuelve y ataca
Solo contenta mira si tu hijo está contento
Quizás tal vez el día de mañana
Tengas tu calma, tranquilidad y paz para tu alma
Las cosas tristes de la vida, no dan cabida
Sólo satisfacción de soledad y fuerza en la caída
Así de simple, como pa' levantarte
Sólo por eso el que llevas en el vientre debe amarte
Madre como tu ninguna
Este canto sentimiento de la cuna
Que nace de mis adentros no entiendo por que lloras
A servir sangre en mis venas madre en el mundo hay una sola
Madre como tu ninguna
Este canto sentimiento de la cuna
Que nace de mis adentros no entiendo por que lloras
A servir sangre en mis venas madre en el mundo hay una sola
Fotos de familia
Seis de octubre uno nueve siete seis
Son las siglas de mi nacimiento
Soy libra, soy violento como el viento
Miento siento pero entiendo
El sufrimiento de una madre sola en este mundo
No me confundo, junto yo he vivido con mi madre
En esta puñetera y jodida vida
Mi padre en el ochenta nos abandona
Noventa millas de mi zona
No me molesta pero me incomoda
Prosigue punto y coma
Mi difunta abuela que no perdonaba, la maltrataba
La asustaba, ante mis ojos la ofendía
La maldecía, día a día, le planteaba
Olvida tu futuro con tu hijo dinero y economía
Quién lo diría, por eso
Zeta o e, son las siglas de mi madre
Que en la vida ha sido madre y padre a la vez
Madre como tu ninguna
Este canto sentimiento de la cuna
Que nace de mis adentros no entiendo por que lloras
A servir sangre en mis venas madre en el mundo hay una sola
Madre como tu ninguna
Este canto sentimiento de la cuna
Que nace de mis adentros no entiendo por que lloras
A servir sangre en mis venas madre en el mundo hay una sola
Incansable no descansará mi voz
Un millón de veces daría mi vida si fuese por vos
No hay dos en este planeta no más
Tu cara, alma, corazón y cuerpo ese es mi dios mamá
Mi pulso no descansará jamás
Me corre tu sangre en mis venas
Para salir a luchar
Dulzura, ternura, pura tu alma
A dios le pido siempre estar presente siempre en mi alma
Dama con un arma, que resguarda del destino la mala jugada
Del camino hacia el futuro y yo orgulloso del esfuerzo
De nosotros dos mamá
Madre como tu ninguna
Este canto sentimiento de la cuna
Que nace de mis adentros no entiendo por que lloras
A servir sangre en mis venas madre en el mundo hay una sola
Madre como tu ninguna
Este canto sentimiento de la cuna
Que nace de mis adentros no entiendo por que lloras
A servir sangre en mis venas madre en el mundo hay una sola
Madre como este canto que nace de mis adentros
A servir sangre en mis venas madre en el mundo hay una sola
Madre como tu ninguna
Este canto sentimiento de la cuna
Que nace de mis adentros no entiendo por que lloras
A servir sangre en mis venas madre en el mundo hay una sola
