4 March 2016 ~ Museo de los orishas

Listening to: Hollis Brown ~Ain't Got Nuthin' (Gets Loaded)

One stop was the Museo de los Orishas. This museum represents Saneria, an Afro-Cuban religion, a mix of West African/Yoruba and Catholic beliefs. There are 32 representations of deities or Orishas, but we could not take pictures. 


Representation of the world. 


A youth group does dances to represent a story of the religion. Here they are awaiting their turn.



And here are a few short video clips of the dancers.
