African Mythology is considered the first of the existing religions for humanity, through its gods with its references of the universe and the earth allow us to understand this ancient and mysterious culture.

The export of African religiosity was reflected at the time when the conquerors from the seventeenth century needed slaves to supply their established provinces with skilled labor, during that process the black slaves also carried all their ancestral culture, folk traditions and the most entrenched religious beliefs.

So we observe the cases in regions such as Cuba, Brazil, Haiti, Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico, among others, where a large black community was established, mostly from Nigeria, Senegal, Zambia and Angola, where until the day of Today the rites and ceremonies exported from these countries are maintained, some of them have even been reformulated, as in the case of Cuba that was born the so-called Santeria, also as in the case of Haiti and Brazil where the Vudu was partially transformed from its root.
