Home Made Vacuum Body

Friends:
for many Cubans today is a very important holiday! Is the day of Santa Barbara, which is also changed.
When Cuba was settled, after having almost exterminated the aborigines, the English began to bring Africans in chains, many of them in their lands were princes and kings. They imposed their culture and religion in Europe, but doing what they sent their "owners" whites, they never forgot their roots and continued to worship their deities. And thus was the syncretism of two cultures that both enriches the current Cuban reality.
We worshiped the conquerors eg San Lazaro and slaves that holy fue Babalu Aye, Santa Barbara is Chango; In this way, each corresponds to a Catholic saint Africa, it is interesting that being a woman in Santa Barbara African cults is Shango, who is male. Is that the stories of the two are very similar, and for Cubans both is the same Deity.
Some composers have dedicated works to the saints. There is a very popular song at Santa Barbara (Chango)

Que viva Chango, Chango
living, living
Chango, Chango
living, gentlemen! Santa Barbara

blessed for you

lira furrow my excitement and inspired
