Eshu Obalona
A poetic impression by Phil Wayne, who keeps surprising us with the creativity of Umbanda!
Obalona means “The king in/of the road”
Trailers for sale or rent,
Rooms to let, fifty cents
No girls, no bath, no pets,
Can’t get no cigarettes.
Smoke old stogies I have found
Plenty there but not too big around …
It is from a song called “King of the road”. Obalona is another one of the “road Exus”. He will ask exhorbitant prices for working for you, but will usually drop down to pennies (three of them) if you want to bargain.
