31 | * Myth/AfricanMythology: The album is named for two African deities present in Afro-Brazilian religions: |
32 | ** Ogum, a male [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orisha orixá]] (spirit) of Yoruba origin present in Candomblé, Umbanda and Quimbanda, which presides over metal workers and craftsmen. |
33 | ** Xangô, another male orixá of Yoruba origin, who presides over virility, justice and lightning. |
34 | * AlbumTitleDrop: Not an exact title drop, however, "Filhos de Gandhi" does name drop the two deities the album is named after in its lyrics: |
35 | -->''Omolu, '''Ogum''', Oxum, Oxumaré\ |
36 | Todo o pessoal\ |
37 | Manda descer pra ver\ |
38 | Filhos de Gandhi'' |
39 | |
40 | -->''Iansã, Iemanjá, chama '''Xangô'''\ |
41 | Oxossi também\ |
42 | Manda descer pra ver\ |
43 | Filhos de Gandhi'' |
44 | * EpicRocking: Every track but "Sarro" breaks the five minute mark, with the longest track ("Taj Mahal") being 14 minutes. |
45 | * GratuitousPanning: Gil's vocals and guitar are panned to the left channel, whereas though Jorge's vocals and guitar are panned to the right. |
46 | * {{Instrumentals}}: "Sarro", which is comprised of vocal improvisations by Gil with some back guitar from Jorge. |
47 | * LocationSong: "Meu Glorioso São Cristovão" is this for [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/São_Cristóvão São Cristóvão]]. |
48 | * MinisculeRocking: "Sarro", which only lasts a minute. |
49 | * RearrangeTheSong: "Taj Mahal", which previously appeared on Ben's previous 1972 self-titled record, is remade from its Arabesque sounding original into an extended psychedelic jam piece. |
50 | ** Additionally, "Morre o Burro Fica o Homem" would be flipped from its laid-back, groove-oriented form on that same record to a more rhythmic and much faster version on ''Ogum, Xangô''. |
51 | * VocalTagTeam: Gil and Jorge do this throughout the album. |
