- Synopsis:
Ile Aiye (The House Of Life) is David Byrne's breathtaking, impressionistic 1989 documentary on Cadomble, the African spirit cult of the Bahia region of Brazil. Ile Aiye explores the ways in which Candomble has influenced the daily life and culture of the people of Brazil through music, art, religion, theater, food, dance, poetry and more. The rhythms of the sacred drums and bells, a dance of spiritual ecstasy, offerings and sacrifices, divination and the visitation of the Orishas (deities) through trance are all part of the color and life of Candomble. The Music in Ile Aiye includes ritual music recorded during ceremonies, popular Brazilian songs influenced by Candomble, and an Original Score by David Byrne recorded with Brazilian musicians in Bahia and New York. - Actors:
