Reader Val asks:
I was wondering if you had any information about the Cuban religion Abakua. I have searched the internet inside and out to find any information on this religion and have had no luck. They are a secret men's society and it originates back to Africa, I do know that much. But I would like to know how one becomes part of the religion, the basic history, what the religion worships. Things like that. I do know a few words related such as arara...possibly a saint?? nanigo are "priests" that are higher up...and naniguismo. Beyond that I am stuck and frustrated. Would you be able to find ANY information on this for me?
