Macumba (Portuguese pronunciation: [maˈkũᵐbɐ]) is a word that has a dual meaning. It can be used when describing a musical instrument or a form of witchcraft (or magic). Before it was used for a single religion Macumba was originally used to categorize all religions who practiced or believed in animistic-syncretism during the 1800s. In the 1900s Macumba became a slang term among Brazilians who aren’t affiliated with these religions. The religions that are refereed to under the umbrella term Macumba are Candomblé, Giro, and Mesa Blanca. |
