At a Crossroads: Saoco and "Intro/Oriki Eshu"

Intro/oriki Eshu by Saoco on Grooveshark

The random tune for this Easter Sunday is Intro/Oriki Eshu by Saoco. Unfortunately, I can't find any information about Saoco. I don't think that they are the Detroit band of the same name. However, the song title refers to Eshu, who is the African/Latin American trickster god that stands at the crossroads and is a guide along the road of life. However, he can guide you into trouble just as easily as not. He is synonymous with Papa Legba of vodoun and voodoo. Intro/Oriki Eshu can be found on Saoco's 2005 album La Farandula.
