"Meu Pai Oxalá" (Portuguese for My Lord Oxalá) is a song written by Vinícius de Moraes and Toquinho in 1973. This samba composition, which is heavily influenced by the Afro-Brazilian religion of Candomblé, was first performed by the duo. There are also versions performed by each of them solely. A well-known version was released by Daniela Mercury on her 2005 album Balé Mulato.
