Questions about Candomble

​

Hello I’m researching about African American religions and I have a series of questions about Candomble.

1. Apart from Ketu what nation is the most widespread Jeje or Angola

2. Is Candomble has more Afro descendant people practicing that umbanda? From what I’ve seen in videos majority of the people where either black or mix. But maybe it’s because they were from Bahia.

3. It’s Candomble very expensive? I’ve read about but it doesn’t really make a lot of sense that a religion that came from poor descendants of slaves and its majority still are working class descendants of slaves to be so expensive.

4. In the Angola nation it’s working with the death common? In palo mayombe in cuba that has the same origins and in Congo and Angola it’s very common, but in Candomble Angola I haven’t seen or read about it that much

5. It’s Xângo from Pernambuco a branch/nation or Candomble or would you consider it a different religion? From what I’ve seen it’s very similar to Ketu.

6 It’s Candomble more widespread/important than Umbanda in Bahia and Pernambuco?

7. Apart from the big three nations what other are there? I’ve read about Jâre/candomble caboclo and the Xângo from Pernambuco. But are there more nations?

Thanks In Advance
