The most widely practiced religion in Cuba is santería, known also as the Regla de Ocha or Yoruba religion after the orishas or gods from western Nigeria. During the ceremonies in honor of the orishas, each one is invoked by using his or her distinctive drum rhythm and dance. Some of the initiated participants may appear to become possessed and assume certain aspects of the orisha’s personality. Just how far you wish to delve into such rituals is entirely at your discretion. The annual festivals of the most popular orishas draw huge crowds.
