Candomblé - Candomblé

...It originated from the religion of black slaves who were forcibly relocated from the west coast of Africa to work on sugar plantations since the 16th century, but it has changed dramatically under the conditions of the New World and has been assimilated with other religions, so it is not appropriate to call it an African religion in general.

Candomblé de Caboclo is also known as a religion with strong elements of Indian culture.
