Nag Champa is a fragrance of Indian origin. It is used in incense, soap, perfume oil, essential oils, candles and personal toiletries, and is common in ashrams. Introduced to the U.S. by the Hippies in the 1960s, it has become one of the most popular and recognizable incense fragrances.

Hailing from New Haven, Connecticut and joined by her band DigFlo, well-travelled wordsmith Akua Naru gives us an exclusive live performance of "Poetry: How Does It Feel"; a sensually exquisite, jazzy jam of spoken word.
Akua Naru is back on the block. And in this "live & aflame" session backed the DigFlo band and singer Drea D'Nur, Akua shows the world why she is an okayplayer-to-watch, commanding the mic and weaving complex counterpoints to the live ensemble into the cadence of her rhyme like a Grammy-winning industry vet, rather than a fresh face in this whole live hip-hop movement. Watch for the sax solo and make sure you stick with this song right through to goose-bumpy conclusion at the 7 minute, 26 second mark. You'll be glad you did. Also, did I forget to mention: World Premiere!

Schauet hoch zum Sonnenrad -
Skoll tut schon seine Pflicht -
Gesänge gehen durch das Land -
Heute ziehen wir in die Schlacht -
Nehmt die Schwerter und die schilde, sagt den Weibern Lebetwohl -
Steigt aufs Pferd, auf zum Sieg -
Lasst uns streiten Brüder, die Götter sind mit uns -
Die goldene Halle sie öffnet die Tore weit, der Tisch ist schon gedeckt -
Wir bauen dem Einäugigen einen Thron auf den Knochen unserer Feinde -
Wir schicken die feigen heim zur Hel -
Thor ist mit uns -
Und werd ich fallen in dieser Schlacht, tragt meinen Leichnam heim zu meiner Frau -
Sagt ihr: keine Tränen, denn ich bin Daheim -
Gebt meinem Sohn mein Schwert und Schild -
Das Erbe liegt in seiner hand, den er ist jung und Stolz
Und dürstet nach des Vaters Mörder Blut -
Begleitet ihn auf diesen und auf allen Wegen -
Doch zuvor meine Brüder,
Lasst uns schlagen diese Schlacht:
Schauet hoch zum Sonnenrad -
Skoll tut noch seine Pflicht -
Gesänge gehen durch das Land -
