In parts of Havana, the Yoruba traditions of former Nigerian and Congolese slaves are still practiced. Followers worship the Orishas, deities of nature.

This year, during island celebrations for the Virgin Mary, faithful Yoruba make offerings on the waters edge to Yemaya, goddess of the sea.Duration: 00:56
