I first heard Nina Simone sing Dambala in 2016. In May, at the most righteous of timing I realized it was a cover and heard the original sung by Exuma, the Original Obeah Man. Dambala, the primordial creator of all life in Haitian voodoo is called upon. An evocative spirit song to call order and balance into existence. I at this time cannot imagine that good shall overtake evil but I believe we can arrive at balance. Justice. Harmony.
"Bring the trumpets from heaven
And the fire from hell
Then nobody can break the spell..."
