This ensemble is dedicated to play music for Eggun (ancestral spirits and spirit guides) and the Orishas. It was established under the direction of yours truly, Jorgito, in 1997.

The Ochumare ensemble has had the privilege of being selected to celebrate, honor or simply comply with the Egguns and the Orishas wishes in numerous religious homes, that requested our services. Our ensemble is known for its punctuality and respect of the individuals who require our services, therefore regarding us as reliable and responsible.

For these facts, and many other reasons, we are highly regarded and sought after by a solid and established clientele, that always call upon us for their religious music needs. Our clients are not hesitant to refer us to their godchildren, friends and family. We play all types of religious music and instruments in order to achieve a rewarding and satisfying event for the Egguns and Orishas, as well as their initiates.
