What's new with the ��a��igo or Abaku��

The figure of the Abakuá or the one also known as ñáñigo has been a long-standing character in Havana''s andurrial. From all proposed to the roundup by the hand of the colonial authorities and then by those of the quasi-republic which failed to reduce it much less disappear it. Afro-descendant in majority managed to survive in the mystery and subuse of secret societies. Today they deserve recognition in time; so its traditional historiography requires an objective review; to add that he has assumed his afromistic dependence as definitive and almost unique; and we do not take for granted the contribution and Creole cultural transfer of wide range and nuances; much profane but promoted and carried out in its neat and rich socio-cultural seat in the Havana neighborhood. As were those first generations more than two centuries ago of initiates. Reconstructing history requires tracing stages where reminiscences remain; those that because they are disastrous eliminate them and incorporate new appreciations for an objective historiography attached to the facts ...in fact very scarce.
