Historical Background of Diplo-santería1
Since the very first humanitarian flight that departed to Cuba in 1979 after negotiations with the Cuban government allowed Cuban exiles to return to the island to visit their families, Diasporan Cuban Olorishas and their multi-national religious descendants have made countless visits to the island for religious purposes. Today, many younger Olorishas from the United States, Puerto Rico, Spain, Mexico, Venezuela, Panama, and other areas of the Cuban-Lukumí Diaspora are traveling to Cuba, infected by the nostalgic virus that we, the earlier generations of Cuban exiles disseminated, that idealized or romanticized the religion in Cuba. Under this assumption, bitten by the Lukumí-Mecca-in-Cuba bug, they seek religious knowledge and orthodoxy in the island. In many, the virus spreads and becomes a malignant cancer that cannot be extirpated. Continue reading »

Es con un gran pesar en mi corazón que tengo que anunciar el fallecimiento en Cuba de la matriarca de mi linaje de Osha, Magdalena “Chiquitica” Ruíz, Oyá Gadé. Sin dudas, Oyá Gadé fue una de las últimas iyalorishas de la era de oro de nuestra religión en Cuba. Como iyalorisha, tuvo un gran impacto en Cuba donde inicio a un sinnúmero de olorishas, pero su marca no terminó allí. La influencia de esta gran Iyalorisha se extendió a la diáspora lukumí, a través de ahijados muy reconocidos, entre ellos Aníbal Guerrero, Okantomí—su “hijo”—y Jorge Monés, Oshún Laí, quienes han extendido nuestra rama a través de los Estados Unidos, América Latina y Europa. Oyá Gadé también inició a mi difunta abuela, Oshún Ilarí, su “gran ahijada y gran amiga,” madrina de su hija, por lo que no sólo teníamos vínculos religiosos, sino familiares. Continue reading »
