I love my music, my roots, folklore, the drum, but at the same time I rap, I sing salsa, love songs, ballads, reggae,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the music inherited from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/tag\/africa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Africa<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0has a greater influence in Brenda\u2019s life because of what it represents for the artist, who not only sings it for its aesthetic beauty, but also because of the awareness of safeguarding the legacy of her ancestors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019m working on a trilogy, which is connected to the orishas, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u200b\u200b<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">but trying to show a meaning. So that it is understood that sometimes one refers to an orisha with a prayer, but it doesn\u2019t necessarily have to be associated with that, but with situations in life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Along with musical creation, Navarrete accompanies this eminently pedagogical purpose of educating about African cultural roots with videos on social networks and face-to-face classes that explain the historical, social, religious and cultural framework behind the chants.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Singing to the orishas<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first video clip of the trilogy is \u201cIyalodde,\u201d released a few days ago on digital platforms and which had its live presentation on Thursday, July 25 at F\u00e1brica de Arte.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIyalodde means hierarchy. It means a woman with a high political, social, or economic rank. The video is dedicated to Osh\u00fan, a feminine, maternal, sensual, strong deity. I tried to find a more fashionable aesthetic. To take it out of the ordinary,\u201d she explains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lyrics of the song are not only a song to divinity, but a portrait of how the artist perceives herself. \u201cFor me, my power is in what I am as a woman, in what I transmit when I play my drum, which is a strong instrument; in what I transmit with my appearance, with my voice and with my energy. And that is Iyalodde,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Brenda-Navarrete-Iyalodde-3.png\" alt=\"The song is not only a song to the deity, but a portrait of how the artist perceives herself.

Photo: Screenshot\/Iyalodde<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next videos will be dedicated to Eleggu\u00e1 and Obbatal\u00e1. \u201cThe first is my guardian angel. He has been the deity with whom I have connected since I was a child. He is and will always be in my songs and in my compositions. And Obbatal\u00e1 is the orisha of tranquility and peace. She always transmits that feeling to me in my moments of despair,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Afro and Cuban prevail<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a defender of Afro-Cuban music, Brenda believes that the study of cultural roots needs to be encouraged; however, she believes that rhythm prevails, even in the urban genre or the one known as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reparto<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI have been left speechless by different urban artists. Maybe it doesn\u2019t come from them, maybe it comes from the producer who creates the music for them, but it\u2019s there. For example, Wampi, Ja Rulay, Tiger. There is the drum, the clave, some terms in the language,\u201d she explains.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Brenda-Navarrete-Iyalodde-5.png\" alt=\"Brenda Navarrete.

Photo: Screenshot\/Iyalodde<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThat\u2019s what I like about modern Cuban music. At least it has this rhythmic cell that comes from Africa. I feel that it is part of the evolution of Cuban music. Even though many people don\u2019t like it, it is happening. That their way of speaking is explicit, yes. But I stick with the musical part,\u201d she confesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brenda responded to the alarmist criteria that with the appearance and rise of this genre, Cuban music as we know it could disappear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDepending on what the new generations say, it is their musical or artistic manifestation. Everything comes accordingly,\u201d she pointed out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Good vibes<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In recent years, Brenda Navarrete has visited several countries around the world. Together with her band, she recently went to South Korea, Colombia, Portugal, Spain. In all the performances there is a tribute to her faith, her ancestors, her culture. Without distinction between the different languages <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u200b\u200b<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">of her interlocutors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI say that what I feel, you\u2019re going to feel in some way. I don\u2019t know if it is a gift or something that the universe gave me. Almost always when I appear on stage, the first thing I do is connect with the audience. It is an imperative need to be able to flow. In the foreground, there is the energy,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt is an energy that I trust, that seems to have come with me. If I sing for an orisha or another song, there is a good part of the audience that I\u2019m going to connect with in some way. They like something.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1080px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/La-Fiesta-del-Tambor-2024-Brenda-Navarrete.jpg\" alt=\"\u201cConnecting with the audience is an imperative need to be able to flow.\u201d Photo: Brenda Navarrete\/Instagram\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u201cConnecting with the audience is an imperative need to be able to flow.\u201d Photo: Brenda Navarrete\/Instagram<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The mystique behind this is indecipherable. The truth is that, singing Afro-Cuban music, Brenda has even performed at the Royal Albert Hall in London (2019), in the United Kingdom, or at the opening of the Formula 1 Grand Prix Miami (2022) in the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019m very happy. Seeing Brenda as a child, from the Manuel Saumell school, who wanted to study percussion, and now that I play my drums, I have my videos and many people around the world know me, I say that I am very grateful,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI can\u2019t talk to you about the future. But I want the whole world to know what I defend, which is the roots of Africa and Cuba enhanced, mixed, with jazz, with funk, with pop, with <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reparto<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, with rumba.
