According to a 2001 national census which surveyed 11.2 million Cubans, 1.1 million Cubans described themselves as Black, while 2.8 million considered themselves to be "mulatto" or "mestizo". Thus a significant proportion of those living on the island affirm some African ancestry. The matter is further complicated by the fact that a fair number of people still locate their origins in specific African ethnic groups or regions, particularly Yoruba, Igbo and Congo, but also Arará, Carabalí, Mandingo, Fula, Makua, and others. Nevertheless, and despite the egalitarian project of the Cuban revolution, racial discrimination still exists in Cuba. Many Afro-Cubans complain that they are refused employment in the lucrative tourism industry, where Cubans make in tips weekly what doctors and other professionals make in months.
Afro-Cuban music involves two main categories of music, religious and profane. Religious music includes the chants, rhythms and instruments used in rituals of the above-mentioned religious currents, while profane music focuses largely on rumba, guaguanco and comparsa (carnival music) as well as several lesser styles such as the tumba francesa. It is an acknowledged fact, however, that practically all Cuban music has been influenced by African music, particularly regarding rhythm.

"Diamonds used to be coal
Look young cause they got soul
That's why they're beautiful
And my heart used to be cold
'Til your hands laid on my soul
Baby, that's why you're beautiful"
- Beyonce
So my poor bald Cleo repaint was in between wigs when I found my old Moxie Teens afro wig, which I neglected cuz it was really long and droopy and hardly an afro but rather a poor mess of hair. However I remember trimming my other afro wig (I’m saving it for a Clawd doll) and it became much more foofy and round once i trimmed off about 30% of the hair off. And so it fits really nicely with Cleo’s look now so I’m happy she isn’t bald anymore,
I really love this look on Cleo and hope you guys like it too.

Best day so far, my son got me some paint for fathers day, so went out in the morning and met up with Dyelk at tottenham..... there was a fashion shoot happening down there and was using our peice for some backgrounds shots. Best thing is the model kept changing next to us.... saw some bra and knickers, what more do you want.... semi nakedness and graff.
It was all a bit too much for Eblitz, thought he was going to go in a seizure.
Off to have an Indian with my son now.... great day

Unique to Abeokuta, the return of those once enslaved resulted in the creation and the development of the Yoruba Africa-Brazilian style, wich appropiated and integrated Yoruba homes in a hybrid that reflected and physically accomodated old and new cultural practices.
