Black slaves came to Cuba from remote African lands, bringing their cultures with them. Blacks from the same nation formed an association called Cabildo, and precisely on the Day of the Kings, the colonial authorities allowed them to make their most solemn appearance, and the black creoles joined them.On that day, the children of Africa came to Cuba, to Havana, with their clothes, their music, their languages and songs, their dances and ceremonies. This book is about these Cabildos and their ceremonies on the King's Day.Don Fernando Ortiz was one of the most prolific Cuban authors of the first half of the 20th century. He dedicated his life to discovering Cuban culture through his studies of anthropology, ethnography, history and other social humanities. He stood out for his research into Cuban black ethnography.Title: Los Cabildos Y La Fiesta Afrocubanos del Dia de ReyesAuthor: Fernando OrtizYear: 1992
