The Abacua Brotherhood - Ancient Beliefs Thrive In Cuba

CARDENAS, CUBA - JULY 23: Two "Ireme" or "Diablito" (masked dancers) dance the "Efori Isun" with a "Nianigo" (member of the Abacua brotherhood society), who holds the head of a chicken in his mouth, at a ceremony to consecrate the street at the conclusion of a two-day initiation rite for new members on July 23, 2000 near the temple Uriabon in the town of Cardenas in the province of Matanzas, Cuba. Abacua, a secret Afro-Cuban men's initiatory fraternity, was brought over from Africa by tribes from the Cross River delta region between Nigeria and Cameroon.
