Umbanda is not Macumba

Umbanda is not Macumba

About the book:

Many confuse Umbanda and Macumba. The vast majority of lay people do not know what Umbanda is, let alone what Macumba is.
Macumba is the name of a percussion instrument that was widely used in some of the Afro-Brazilian cults in the past. Today this term has a pejorative connotation used as a form of discrimination and prejudice.

Umbanda is a Brazilian religion founded by a Brazilian, who practices only and exclusively good. The most basic foundation of this religion says: “Umbanda is a manifestation of the spirit for the practice of charity”. Anything other than that is not Umbanda.

With simple and objective language, this book is intended for everyone who wants to understand the minimum and basics about Umbanda and understand that Umbanda is not Macumba.
