Disclaimer: The name of the Orisha Obatala is pronounced differently in many areas and I use the 2 most common pronunciations in this story. Also, the mention of intercourse is present. 

In this Cuban Tale, Obatala is an Orisha that loves her yams and is looking for someone to help her with her crops. She also possesses and beautiful drum that is coveted by another Orisha who will try anything to take it from her. Will the drum affect her plantation, or will she fulfill her desire? Press play and find out.
