About the Track
"Judgement," alongside the other tracks on this release, speak to the connection between inter spirituality, music, voice, and the land we come from or our cultural identities.
The music on 'Queen and Judgement' contains chants from the Cuban folkloric religion Santeria and the title of the release is derived from the traits of 2 of those deities.

The word Queen comes from the god Oya, she brings the winds, lighting, violent storms, death, and rebirth. The word Judgement comes from the god Obatala, the god of gods and the creator of the human body who can judge ones actions.

"Judgement" and it's lyrics are a chant to Obatala.
There is no english translation, these vocals
are Yuroban religious chants from Cuba that
came from Nigeria and migrated to Cuba
through the slave trade by the Spanish.

==============================================================================

After their 2018 Juno nomination in the World Music Album of the Year Category for ‘La Migra,’ the band’s next recording mission saw them trace their own influences to Cuba, where they wrote and recorded much of what took shape as their next full-length album. Informed by the esoteric culture and spirit of Santeria while retaining the experimental broodiness they have come to be known for, ‘Queen & Judgement’ is as diverse as ever.

Battle of Santiago combines ancient Afro-Cuban rhythms and chants with a distinctly Canadian post-rock spirit and sensibility. Fused by dynamic elements of jazz, the result is a party-forward experience that has brought them to stages across the globe, including NYC’s legendary Joe’s Pub, and festivals across Canada, the US, Spain, France, The Netherlands and more.
