  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    The record that started it all is back!!
    This is the vinyl version of ÌFÉ’s critically acclaimed debut album IIII+IIII. Released by our in-house label Discos Ifá and literally hand pressed and packaged by ÌFÉ at the New Orleans Record Press in Louisiana, this LP version contains the entire IIII+IIII album in 12” black vinyl in a single sleeve full color jacket. Y’all wanted it so we repressed it!! And when we say hand pressed and packaged by ÌFÉ, we mean Otura Mun literally took a job at the New Orleans Record Press plant 4 blocks from his house in NOLA and pressed and packaged these records at the plant himself! Seriously y’all, new levels unlocked!

    This Pre Sale purchase includes an immediate down of Digital Album with the Vinyl copies shipping out Nov 5th 2021.

    Limited to 500 copies, this pressing is going to sell out FAST! Get yours now!

lyrics

INTRO...

May May May Iré x 4

Drop it to the sound!
Umbo, Come down! Come down, Come down
Only your love can turn mi round, Bring it to the ground
Umbo, Come down! Come down, Come down
Night is gone but the day seems far away, I feel you all around
Way up! Come Down!

VERSE 1:
Like a king to a throne
Every thought can be known
This life is my own, this ship can be flown

And this space can be known
In this space you alone
You and me together this love can be grown long time mi a know

These seeds we have sewn
Black seeds we have thrown
This knife can be honed, this day will be known

That crown is your own
In your heart you have known
Feel you all around when the waves come crashing down
Shake it to the sound

CHORUS:
Umbo, Come down! Come down, Come down
Only your love can turn mi round, Bring it to the ground
Umbo, Come down! Come down, Come down
Night is gone but the day seems far away, I feel you all around
Umbo, Come down! Come down, Come down
Only your love can turn mi round, Bring it back around

VERSE 2:
You are silver and gold
What a sight to behold
Press tight to me now this night can be cold

From the stars we were born
Like stars we have grown
Listen to me well, this prayer can be shown, this wish will be known

That dream is your own
These dreams we’ve been shown
One touch from your hand this house will be known

That place is your home
From the start you have known

Feel you all around when the waves come crashing down
Drop it to the sound

CHORUS:
Umbo, Come down! Come down, Come down
Only your love can turn mi round, Bring it to the ground
Umbo, Come down! Come down, Come down
Night is gone but the day seems far away, I feel you all around
Umbo, Come down! Come down, Come down
Only your love can turn mi round, Bring it back around
Way up! Come Down!

May May May Iré! x 8
Iyá wo lo mi o! x 8

(Lucumí Prayer for Yemayá)

Ori eh, Awo yo Yemayá!

End…
