Cuban Espiritismo

 

Who would have thought that there are videos of a Cuban Espiritismo ritual said to have Taino or indigenous influences online? This cordon ritual in which participants form a circle and chant, sing, etc. supposedly has strong indigenous influences in eastern Cuba. These indigenous traces are not immediately apparent yet it seems like that an indigenous and an African fusion of sorts occurred here.
