"Aganjú" is a devotion to the saints for protection, good health, better life. The saints and this whole culture were brought by the Africans when they came to Brazil as slaves. "Aganjú" is everywhere, in San Francisco, in New York. "Aganjú" is magic and protection from Brazil. People get so hypnotized by this song, so maybe that is a good thing, they see the religion in my music." http://www.sfstation.com/a-conversation-with-bebel-gilberto-a1295
