Despite its many practitioners, Santeria is difficult to see first-hand – Santeria priestesses are often wary of foreigners. It was very unusual that they allowed a camera into this secret ceremony. • Most Cubans are Catholic. Many also believe in Santeria, a syncretic religion that was brought to Cuba with the slave trade. Santeria customs include sacred drumming, animal sacrifice, and trance-like state that is used for communicating with their ancestors and deities. • Santeria isn’t just a religion – it’s a reflection of the Cuban personality. • Born of resistance and survival - and now a celebration. • Tune in for a new video every week from the far corners of Our Human Planet! / ourhumanplanet • Download our complete 2-hour PBS documentary series on Cuba: http://www.japanlandonline.com/ • Subscribe to OUR HUMAN PLANET: https://bit.ly/2V4LsRa • #Travel #Adventure #Cuba • Category: Travel
