Macumba
''Makumba'' () is a term that has been used to describe various religions of the African diaspora found in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. It is sometimes considered by non-practitioners to be a form of witchcraft or black magic. The Atlantic slave trade of the 16th to 19th centuries brought millions of West and Central Africans to Brazil. There, traditional West and Central African religions continued to be practiced, often syncretising with each other and with both indigenous American and European influences. Among the Afro-Brazilian religious traditions that emerged were Candomblé, Umbanda, and Quimbanda. During the 19th century, the term ''Makumba'' was used generically in reference to all of these religions. By the late 20th century, the term ''Makumba'' was often reserved for those religious traditions whose focus was on dealing with "low" spirits, who were sometimes termed ''exus'' or ''devils''. These practices differed from Candomblé and Umbanda, which focu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
