The
Yoruba
religious
beliefs
and
practices
originated in Africa in Nigeria and Benin. This is an ancient culture
thousands of years old. Brought to the New World through slavery,
it gave birth to Santeria in Cuba. Because of religious
persecution, the Yoruba syncretised their religion with
Catholicism to form what is now known as Santeria.
This
upcoming
July,
the
Avenue
50
Studio will
present
an
art
exhibition
celebrating the Yoruba traditions known as Santeria.
