The Fierce and Loving Spirit of Iansã

Juliana D Passos' medley, 'Ponto de Iansã - Ventou, É Oyá / Brisa e Fogo,' is a powerful homage to Iansã, a prominent deity in Afro-Brazilian religions such as Candomblé and Umbanda. The lyrics vividly describe the arrival of Iansã, marked by natural phenomena like wind, lightning, and thunder, symbolizing her immense power and presence. Iansã, also known as Oyá, is revered as the goddess of winds, storms, and transformation, and the song captures her dual nature of fierce warrior and loving mother.

The repetition of the lines 'Ventou, relampejou e trovejou' emphasizes the dramatic entrance of Iansã, bringing with her not only the force of nature but also her boundless love. The invocation 'Oyá eparrei' is a traditional greeting and praise for Iansã, acknowledging her strength and protective qualities. The lyrics highlight her role as a warrior ('minha mãe guerreira') and her ability to bring balance and movement, asking for her guidance to do good ('Nos dê equilíbrio pra fazer o bem').

The song also touches on Iansã's association with passion and purification. Described as the 'Senhora da paixão' and 'Rainha de oyó,' she is called upon to aid and protect. The imagery of fire and volcanic lava ('Seu fogo abre o chão, és lava de vulcão') signifies her purifying power, capable of cleansing and transforming. The repeated call to 'guerreia' underscores her relentless spirit in fighting against negativity and evil. Through this medley, Juliana D Passos not only celebrates Iansã's formidable energy but also her nurturing and transformative influence on her followers.
