Inhabited by two major groups: The "caucasoids", in North Africa, Egypt and Sudan, with brown eyes, light olive kin, and high- bridged narrow noses. And the "Negroid", in the rest of Africa. - Their "primitive religions" have in common the 3 kind of occultism: Divination, witchcraft (magic) and spiritism, with the "sacrifice" of animals, and sometimes of humans, to calm the gods-demons; and reverence for the "ancestors"... often, the head of the tribe, or the Pharo, is "the god", though in each tribe there are many "gods-demons"... - The Muslims in the North, and the Christians in the South of the Sahara Desert, have changed most of african religion... but it is estimated that more than 40% of africans still practice "animism", often in syncretism with their new christian or muslim religions. - Some groups have actually a big influence in the West: The "Santeria" from Nigeria is thriving today in North and South America; the same effect is having the "Woodoo" and "Umbanda" of the Congo... Only in Miami, there are more than 20,000 santero-priests, with many more in Cuba and Brazil; the "Woodoo" is thriving in Haiti and New Orleans, with the name of "hoodoo"... the Rosacrutians follow the egyptian steps...

Just climb a hundred steps and you will enter a house in a white-painted building situated in a slum in the city of Salvador, in the state of Bahia, Brazil. To many Brazilians, it is a sacred dwelling. Inside a dark room, a priest peers over a solitary candle in a corner, dressed in white robes. Someone brings in a gigantic basket of colourful fruits and places it on a table. The atmosphere is one of serenity. The priest sits behind a table bedecked with a circle of crystals, miniature idols and brilliant stones, which look as if someone has just emptied the contents of a treasure chest. Then he takes 17 seashells and rubs them in the palms of his hands while chanting an incantation in Yoruba, the language of Nigeria.

86. African Synod: Interventions... In the Archdiocese of Sao Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, we have a big negro the cult of the traditional african religion of their countries of origin. http://www.afrikaworld.net/synod/neves.htm

Cardinal Lucas MOREIRA NEVES (Archbishop of Sao Salvado da Bahia, Brazil) In the Archdiocese of Sao Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, we have a big negro population formed by more or less distant descendants of slaves who came in the 17 th th and 19 th centuries from Guinea, Angola, Nigeria, Congo and Dahomey. The capital of the State, Salvador, with over one million and a half negros in a population of 2,300,000 inhabitants is one of the biggest African towns in the world. The negro population inherited from its ancestors the cult of the traditional African religion of their countries of origin. For various historical circumstances those beliefs and rites of those animistic religions merged with the practice of the Catholic religiosity creating a religious syncretism , which is the most delicate pastoral challenge of the Archdiocese. The main difficulty of this syncretism lies in the following: the content of the beliefs (and superstitions) of Afro-Brazilian traditional religions cannot be identified with the content of the Catholic faith, lastly it can be considered "semina Verbi" and "praeparatio evangelica". For this reason it would be dangerous to put these two religious expressions on the same equal level, taking one for the other, practising now one, then another on or both together. For this reason, the pastoral approach adopted by the archdiocese concerning the challenge of syncretism can be summarised in the following points:

Cochran" Subject: Re: Afro data base African Dances and Its Changes Overseas West Africa All of the dances that we chose to study tie in with this portion of our journey. The Goree Island, which is right off the shore of Senegal, was a holding place for the slaves, before they made their long journey to their final destinations. Woulousodong is a dance of the Wolorf people in Senegal. One of this dance's different interpretations, when learned in America, is that the movements represented those of the slaves while they walked up the gang plank. The African explanation tells us the movements signify adolescents breaking away from their parents' household and taking on new responsibilities. This is one instance where the interpretation of African dance has changed oversea. Haiti and Cuba Many of the slaves brought to Haiti and Cuba were Yoruba-speaking people. They worshipped more than 400 gods, which are still worshipped today. No doubt, they brought their religious practices with them. The main religion of the Spanish colonizers was Catholicism. It was taught to the Africans. This syncretism of religions resulted in Voodooism in Haiti, Santeria in Cuba and Condomble in Brazil. Haitian and Cuban dances show African origin not only in their religious foundations, but in their rhythmic movements and patterns.

Cuba and African Diaspora Religion by J. Lorand Matory S oricha -worship. In the United States in particular, this Afro-Cuban religion has not simply endured. It has attracted enormous classes of Cubans who would have avoided it in pre-revolutionary Cuba, as well as non-Cuban Latino immigrants who had known nothing of it in their homelands and African Americans who regard it as a way to "recover" their own ancestral African culture. Moreover, here in the U.S., the unique challenges of racial binarism have created revolutionary conflicts, and changes, in the practice of Afro-Cuban religion. I've studied, taught, and written about the Yoruba religion and its New-World counterparts-such as Lucumí in Cuba and Candomblé Nagô in Brazil-since 1980. Lucumí is by far the most prestigious of the Afro-Cuban religions, just as Candomblé Nagô is the most prestigious of the Afro-Brazilian religions. It was the need to explain this "Yoruba" preeminence that inspired my paper "The New Yoruba Empire: Texts, Migration, and the Trans-Atlantic Rise of the Lucumí Nation" presented in January 1999, at a conference co-sponsored by the Juan Marinello Center in Havana with Harvard's David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies.

Zora Neale Hurston talked about it in her book Tell My Horse. African empires were built on its intricate belief system. So what happened? How did a religion so complex and sacred become reduced to magical mumbo jumbo centered on pins stuck into dolls and heads bitten off of chickens? According to some experts, the answer lies in the processes of slavery and colonization. The erasure in America of Voudou, a traditional religion of West African origin, was part of the master plan, said Rod Davis, journalist and author of American Voudou: Journey into a Hidden World (University of North Texas Press, 2000). "If ever the nation harbored a cover-up, it did with Voudou," Davis said. To Davis, the suppression of Voudou went hand and hand with the oppression of slaves. Voudou is the generic term used to refer to almost any of the New World theologies emanating from the Yoruba religion and kingdoms. There are several different spellings: Vodou, Voudoun, Vaudoux, Vaudou, Vodun, Vo-Du, and the clichéed and somewhat racist "voodoo." Davis chose "Voudou" because it is the Creole-based version common to 18th and 19th century Louisiana.

94. The African Diaspora This movement lead to the spreading of african culture, religion, The geographic locations of Haiti, Cuba, Brazil, and Jamaica played a major role in http://www.duke.edu/~lrw/diaspora.html

The African Diaspora Over a period of four centuries, millions of West Africans were transported to North America and the Caribbean Islands in the Atlantic Slave trade. The African slaves were brought to the Western Hemisphere for many different reasons, mostly for hard labor. The slave traders found it easier and less expensive to transport slaves from the west coast of Africa. It was impractical to take slaves from the east side of the continent becauseof the high mortality rates. The African Diaspora is the result of how Africans, though separated from their roots of their homeland and scattered about in a new land, managed to retain their traditions and reform their identities. This movement lead to the spreading of African culture, religion, dance and music from one hemisphere to another (i.e. Haiti, Brazil, Cuba, and Jamaica). West Africa The Goree Island, which is right off the shore of Senegal, was a holding place for the slaves, before they made their long journey to their final destinations.

Her name, a shortened version of Yey Omo Eja means "Mother Whose Children are the Fish" to reflect the fact that her children are so numerous that they are uncountable. As modern sciences has theorizes and ancient cultures have known, life started in the sea. As an embryo we all spend the first moments of our lives swimming in a warm sea of amneotic fluid inside our mother's womb. We must transform and evolve through the form of a fish before becoming a human baby. In this way Yemaya displays herself as truly the mother of all, since she is the seed of all the paths or manifestations.

Yanvalou Drum and Dance Ensemble History The rhythms and dance performed are rooted in the African-derived tradition and rituals of Vodun in Haiti and Candomble in Brazil. The Ensemble is a student group at Wellesley college comprised of students, staff, and visiting artists, directed by Kera Washington '93 and advised by Professor Gerdes Fleurant. Yanvalou's Founding Yanvalou was formed in 1990 by the group's current director, Kera Washington '93. Motivated by her desire to learn Afro-Haitian drumming, Kera and a few friends began practicing under the instruction of Professor Gerdes Fleurant, who helped them discover musical traditions of Haiti. They recruited friends who were interested in learning the traditional dances of Haiti and through the teachings of choreographer Isaura Oliveira, eventually added Brazilian rhythms and movement to their repertoire. Over time, Yanvalou's popularity grew, and today, the group typically consists of 20 dancers and 10 musicians.
