semi-gloss on canvas

The Voodoo is a religion.

Like all ancient religions, also has numerous ceremonial vuduismo related to magic and is much criticized by the rest of the world.
In Haiti, as in the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Puerto Rico and how, Candomble in Brazil, is taken very seriously not only by illiterate peasants, but also by many members of intelligent and educated, like the theologians for Christianity.

It has its roots in Africa, Benin, Congo and Nigeria.
The Vodou as we know it today, is the result of pressures from different cultures and ethnic groups who have been uprooted from Africa and imported to Hispaniola during the period of slavery.
A common faith, which could make them feel part of a culture and a community. the Vuduisti, do not find anything strange in practicing Catholicism and Voodoo together, managing to be very devoted to all two. The Voodoo priests, asking for help to the spirits (angels, mysteries or ancestors), as senior members of the family, even offering food and wine
.

This Haitian artist, has painted  the ceremony, using as always all the colors of the rainbow.

NEVER SAY "IMPOSSIBLE"

These are our home and our gift shop.

In Las Galeras time passes slowly and sometimes it's nice and also helpful, spend a few hours sitting in front of our store to look at who and what goes.

I said also useful, because it can help to know the local mores.

Looking at the video below, you will understand that in the Dominican Republic,

 everything is possible!

..... and if everything is possible, even the vision of this artist, becomes real!

                                                                 More music!

It 'an abstract view of this artist, who weaves in its design a sax and a keyboard to represent the art of combining sounds, creating the music.

In Las Galeras, when someone starts playing a guitar, soon adding a guira (a kind of grating that is played with a pole) .. and everything becomes a drum.

It 's already merengue and here we begin to dance, you party!
