what you are hearing in this article is my cover of the iconic Cuban song Babalu Aye. Like Willy Chirino says about himself, hijo de Babalu I believe in Babalu myself too. Babalu was introduced to American audiences on the famed classic and iconic 1950 sitcom starring Lucille Ball and Desi I love Lucy. Desi is underrated and a genius who deserves to be more celebrated than he was. He was truly and over looked icon. Everyone focused on Lucille Ball but they overlooked Desi . Also, that’s something I’ll get into another article.

Getting back to this article what I’m showing you in this article is a cover song that I did of the Cuban folk song and iconic song Babalu. The queen of salsa and Azucar Celia Cruz had done a cover of Babalu on one of her live albums called a night of salsa Celia Cruz a night of salsa.

Now what you hear on my cover version of this truly sacred song called Babalu I’m playing the percussion. I’m doing the brass on a keyboard and I’m doing the lyrics too. I also recorded it all myself. I layered it using a keyboard and everything else. I layered it as a good producer and recorder does. I also used my recording equipment that I’ve used on everything I ever recorded. Also I think I should add that. I recorded the whole song by ear each part. I listen to the part with my headsets and I interpreted the other way and that’s how it came out to sound so good by keeping in mind as I just said, I recorded everything by ear as I do with everything I record.

Desi Arnaz had introduced Cuban music to America through I Love Lucy. Babalu is a prominent God in the Cuban spirituality of Santeria. Can either cure you of your disease diseases or can bring them back? It’s a two-way street, but Babalu is a true saint and a God in Santeria.

Because of how sacred this song is, I am so happy that my cover version of the song came out wonderfully. I don’t mind saying so, but this cover of Baba I did was one of my finest covers I’ve ever done. Babalu is a prayer asking for preservation and health and loves returned and it’s just a miraculous prayer. I in my own find jewelry that’s good jewelry of my own. I have a Babalu bracelet that I like to wear a lot.

Babalu is also a Saint of preserved health like if you’re sick you can always pray to Babalu and Babalu would help you find a cure for your illnesses and diseases. The power of Babylon works miracles. When I recorded my cover version of Babalu, I did it very carefully and the book. Knowing the importance and significance of Balu, I had to. Celia Cruz when she was with Sonora Matancera, and Celia did a song called Babalu aye which is a different variation of Babalu, but not like but Celia‘s version I mean, Celia‘s track is one of my favorites as well. Babalu is the one that had an Afro Cuban song written by one Margarita Lecouna.

As I was recording this track, I hoped and I prayed that it would come out wonderfully. I am so thankful to God in the universe and all higher powers that I was able to pull off this miraculous recording. It was Joseph Babalu was one cover song that was there for me to record. God for letting me record it too.
