Yemaya, Oshun, & Mami Wata (Mermaids)

Yemaya (colors: blue & white) is the Yorùbá Orisha or Goddess of the living Ocean, considered the mother of all. She is the source of all the waters, including the rivers of western Africa, especially the River Ogun. Her name is a contraction of Yey Omo Eja, which means “Mother Whose Children are the Fish.”

Mermaids are so fascinating, to appear a kind of dress style!
In the end of 1870 women wore bustles under convergent to kneel skirts with train.
In the 30-50th of the 20th century dresses “mermaid” transformed from everyday in the evening – and it is thanks to movie stars, who began to choose a style for the public inventions. For example, the dress “mermaid” was beloved by Marlene Dietrich.

Djeff Feat. Tantra Zawadi – African Mermaid

● Buy at http://www.traxsource.com/title/251605/soldier-ascension ● ‘Soldier Ascension’ has been made in Angola, where Djeff is a DJ, producer and TV presenter, but this is not an Angolan album. It’s bigger and bolder than that, not defined or confined by national borders, and too 21st century in style and execution to be tarred with the ‘World Music’ brush.

Today every woman can be a beautiful mermaid! Why this fashion is so popular among african ladies? Because your curves are the best in the world and this style makes them like from fairy-tale about Litle Mermaid.
