Los orígenes de los Palos Mayombe y Kimbiza se encuentran en algunos países africanos tales como el Zaire, Angola, Congo, Sambia, Namibia y en todos los países donde se hallan las tribus Bantu. La religión de Palo se desarrolló en Cuba, Haiti y otras partes del Caribe. A mediados de 1841, el primer grupo de personas procedentes de diferentes zonas de Nigeria y de las tribus Bantu, el pueblo de Calabar fundó una sociedad. Esta sociedad se llama la sociedad Abakuá. La sociedad Abakuá da origen a los linajes de Palo Mayombe y de Palo Kimbiza. Mientras que el Palo Mayombe fue muy fuerte en Cuba, al mismo tiempo el vudú Mayombe y Kimbiza se estaban desarrollando y creciendo en Haiti. La tradición Kimbiza fue traída a Cuba por Andrés Petit Alto sacerdote y fundador que ostentaba el título de Tata Nganga Nkisi Malongo. Es una figura muy controvertida porque no sólo sacó adelante la primera casa Kimbiza sino que, también, fundó la primera sociedad de blancos en el linaje Abakuá. Fundó estas sociedades en 1863 en la ciudad de Guanabacoa, Cuba. A Andrés Petit se le llamó el Cristo de los Dolores Mayombara Kimbiza Nuncatesia. Lo cual significa que actúo en contra de los mayores de mayombe al iniciar a los blancos en las tradiciones Abakuá y Kimbiza. Por ello, fue condenado y marginado, pero su legado dejó un millar de templos Kimbiza en la Cuba de aquel tiempo. Kimbiza quiere decir superar. Kimbiza quiere decir que si tenemos fe en Dios y utilizamos todo lo que procede de la tradición y de la palabra de Dios y de las antiguas enseñanzas de los pueblos Congo y Bantú, que aprendieron a respetar a la Madre Naturaleza y a todos sus atributos, todas estas enseñanzas juntas forman un gran cúmulo de conocimientos. Kimbiza toma todo esto de las diferentes religiones espirituales que provienen de Dios para superar al mal en la vida. Al tener fe en el Todopoderoso y al creer en ti mismo, respetando las enseñanzas de tus antepasados y aplicando todas esas enseñanzas a tu vida diaria, te salvas a ti mismo, alcanzas la iluminación y además, salvas a los demás y los ayudas a encontrarse a si mismos en esta jungla de asfalto a la que llamamos el nuevo mundo. En África, esta tradición no se conoce como Palo. Esta tradición se conoce como Yimbola. Es la práctica de los chamanes africanos sólo porque en muchos de esos países, la clase dirigente es musulmana. Es por esto que los rangos en esas tradiciones, así como los saludos tales como: Sala Maleco, Maleco Sala pertenecen a las costumbres musulmanas. Éste es un saludo utilizado por los paleros de las tradiciones Kimbiza y Mayombe. La diferencia entre Mayombe y Kimbiza es que Mayombe es estrictamente congo y no está mezclado con creencias esotéricas ni espiritualismo ni catolicismo ni Ocha. Es una religión congolesa pura que venera a los antepasados mediante el caldero. Kimbiza, por otra parte, tiene mucho de mayombe, vudú, espiritualismo, esoterismo, chamanismo, catolicismo y Ocha. Aunque Kimbiza está mucho más cerca de Ocha que de Mayombe.

Fruto de largos años de trabajo, El Monte acopia una singular indagación en cuanto a la magia, las leyendas, las tradiciones y el comportamiento místico y mental del pueblo cubano ante los cultos religiosos de origen afro. Se evoca lo que significa el monte para el negro: un lugar sagrado, engendrador de la vida y morada de sus divinidades ancestrales; pero también el sitio que guarda poderes inimaginables, capaces de ocasionar el más terrible de los maleficios.

As much a storyteller as an ethnographer, Lydia Cabrera was captivated by a strange and magical new world revealed to her by her Afro-Cuban friends in early twentieth-century Havana. In Afro-Cuban Tales this world comes to teeming life, introducing English-speaking readers to a realm of tenuous boundaries between the natural and the supernatural, deities and mortals, the spiritual and the seemingly inanimate. Here readers will find a vibrant, imaginative record of African culture transplanted to Cuba and transformed over time, a passionate and subversive alternative to the dominant Western culture of the Americas. In this charmed realm of myth and legend, imaginative flights, and hard realities, Cabrera shows us a world turned upside down. In this domain guinea hens can make dour Asturians and the king of Spain dance; little fat cooking pots might prepare their own meals; the pope can send encyclicals about pumpkins; and officials can be defeated by the shrewdness of turtles. The first English translation of one of the most important writers on African culture in the Americas, the collection provides a fascinating view of how African traditions, myths, stories, and religions traveled to the New World—of how, in their tales, Africans in the Americas created a New World all their own.

Palo Mayombe: The Garden of Blood and Bones is an initiate's account of this much maligned cult whose central nigromantic mystery is the prenda, the cauldron containing the human skull or bones, reanimated by living spirit. Nicholaj de Mattos Frisvold traces the roots of Palo Mayombe back to Kongolese sorcery, the warrior and leopard societies, and the impact of the Portugese Mission. The original African faith is carried in chains across the abysmal waters of Kalunga and it flowers in Cuba as a New World Creole religion and cult. Yet Palo Mayombe can only be truly understood in the light of a highly developed African cosmology. In drawing parallels with the ancient Greek practice of necromancy, and the grimoire tradition, Frisvold also considers the Western tradition, showing what we have lost in our denial of the dead and the cult of the ancestors. The magical head of Palo Mayombe in its three-legged iron cauldron has implications for understanding our own histories, whether Odin, Baphomet, Bran, John the Baptist or Orpheus. The Misa Espiritual suggests one way in which we can reforge that vital connection and resurrect both our dead and ourselves. The Garden of Blood and Bones gives explicit detail of the workings of Palo Mayombe for good and ill, the method of divination, the herbs, animals, trees and plants, powders, baths and waters, the songs and chants. It presents a complete living system one which embraces both the arts of healing and resurrection, and those that remove life. This study confronts the sinister and violent aspects of the cult, but rather than purveying lurid sensationalism expresses the deep dignity and integrity of its nature; it is intended to serve as a guide for practising Paleros and those seeking initiation. With access to rare materials, pamphlets, booklets and unpublished field notes, this is the most comprehensive study of Palo Mayombe to date. Santeros and practitioners of Vodou will also find much to ponder within these pages.

Originally published in 2003, The Light Inside is a ground-breaking study of an Afro-Cuban secret society, its sacred arts, and their role in modern Cuban cultural history. Enslaved Africans and creoles developed the Abakuá Society, a system of men’s fraternal lodges, in urban Cuba beginnings in 1836. Drawing on years of fieldwork in the country, the book’s novel approach builds on close readings of dazzling Abakuá altars, chalk-drawn signs, and hooded masquerades. It looks at the art history of Abakuá altars, not only tracing changing styles but also how they evolve through cycles of tradition and renovation. The Light Inside reflects the essence of the artists’ creativity and experience: through adornment, altars project the powerful spirituality of Abakuá practice, an aesthetic strategy. The book also traces a biography of Abakuá objects – their shifting forms and meanings – as they participated in successive periods of Cuban cultural history. The book constructs close rhetorical and visual analyses of changing representations of the Abakuá, spanning nineteenth-century arts and letters, modern ethnographic texts, museum displays, paintings, and late twentieth century commercial kitsch. This interdisciplinary work combines art history, African Diaspora, cultural studies and cultural anthropology with Latin American.

Religion is one of the most important elements of Afro-Caribbean culture linking its people to their African past, from Haitian Vodou and Cuban Santeria—popular religions that have often been demonized in popular culture—to Rastafari in Jamaica and Orisha-Shango of Trinidad and Tobago. In Afro-Caribbean Religions, Nathaniel Samuel Murrell provides a comprehensive study that respectfully traces the social, historical, and political contexts of these religions. And, because Brazil has the largest African population in the world outside of Africa, and has historic ties to the Caribbean, Murrell includes a section on Candomble, Umbanda, Xango, and Batique. This accessibly written introduction to Afro-Caribbean religions examines the cultural traditions and transformations of all of the African-derived religions of the Caribbean along with their cosmology, beliefs, cultic structures, and ritual practices. Ideal for classroom use, Afro-Caribbean Religions also includes a glossary defining unfamiliar terms and identifying key figures.

Batá identifies both the two-headed, hourglass-shaped drum of the Yoruba people and the culture and style of drumming, singing, and dancing associated with it. This book recounts the life story of Carlos Aldama, one of the masters of the batá drum, and through that story traces the history of batá culture as it traveled from Africa to Cuba and then to the United States. For the enslaved Yoruba, batá rhythms helped sustain the religious and cultural practices of a people that had been torn from its roots. Aldama, as guardian of Afro-Cuban music and as a Santería priest, maintains the link with this tradition forged through his mentor Jesus Pérez (Oba Ilu), who was himself the connection to the preserved oral heritage of the older generation. By sharing his stories, Aldama and his student Umi Vaughan bring to light the techniques and principles of batá in all its aspects and document the tensions of maintaining a tradition between generations and worlds, old and new. The book includes rare photographs and access to downloadable audio tracks.
