In this episode of Essence of Afrocuban, we explore the profound journey of Arará culture from its roots in Dahomey (modern-day Benin) to its flourishing presence in the Caribbean. Join us as we uncover the African essence of Arará, delving into the history of its first inhabitants, the spiritual guidance of Ifá, and the rhythms that have transcended time.
