Mami Wata (Mammy Water) is a female water spirit venerated in West, Central, and Southern Africa, and in the African diaspora in the Americas. She is at once a nurturing mother; sexy mama; provider of riches; healer of physical and spiritual ills; and embodiment of dangers and desires, risks and challenges, dreams and aspirations, fears and forebodings. People are attracted to the seemingly endless possibilities she represents and, at the same time, frightened by her destructive potential. She inspires a vast array of emotions, attitudes, and actions. Mami Wata’s fertile and reassuring nature covers her baby with nourishing juice kept inside, just like our music surrounds you in holy mammy water that gives you life.
