Thanks for the info man! Much appreciated!

@AOSMUSIC This song is in the Yoruba language, probably the dialect of Ile Ife or Oyo. I am writing back in the Lucumi dialect. 567KID's explanation is good. Elegbara gets the first of everything.

this is the Yoruba language and the chant is from the Yoruba religion originating out of West Africa. it is a praise and acknowledgement of one of the Orishas (Gods) Oshun, but before one can praise any Orisha one must go thru Elegba(Orisha of the Crossroads… Gatekeeper like). that is why you here "ey ey elegba". My mom is one of the singers and my Pop is the founding member of this group–The Last Poets
