I like sambas that talk about my religion. My love for Umbanda, may they exalt my orixás.

Umbanda, born in Brazil in 1908 to a young man named Zélio Fernandino de Moraes, umbanda (a word originating from the Quimbunda dialect meaning healer or art of healing) is an Afro-Brazilian religion that syncretizes elements of African cults with elements of indigenous religions, Catholicism and Kardecist Spiritism. The story goes that Zélio Fernandino began to exhibit strange behavior, in which he seemed to imitate an old man saying unintelligible words. Concerned about the young man, his family took him to the doctor, who recommended visiting a priest. The family, however, took him to a spiritist center, where it was detected the incorporation of a spirit that called itself the Caboclo das Sete Encruzilhadas. From there, the spirit began to give instructions on what should be done, starting the practice of umbanda. As a syncretic religion, umbanda believes in the existence of a sovereign god called Olorum (equivalent to Olódùmarè), maintains a relationship of belief in relation to the orixás, but different from the Candomblecist belief. He believes in the immortality of the soul, in reincarnation and karma, in addition to worshiping entities, who would be more experienced spirits who guide people.
