Desconcertante. Misterioso. Incomprendido. ¿Es brujería, adivinación o simplemente otra religión? Tienen santos, ofrendas y rituales. Pero no hay templo, ni biblia, ni sábado que observar.
Respetuosamente exploramos los orígenes y creencias de esta práctica espiritual afrocaribeña centenaria.

Talentoso. Carismático. Autodestructivo. Estamos hablando del premiado leyenda de la salsa Frankie Ruiz, quien permanece en nuestros corazones mas de 25 años después de su muerte con tan solo 40 años. Sus canciones eran romanticas y atrevidas (como en “Desnúdate Mujer”), honestas y puras (como en “Mi Libertad”).
