Text Any textual data included in the document A vejigante is a clown-like character who appears in festival celebrations of Puerto Rico. Traditional colors of the Vejigantes were black, red, and yellow. Today, vejigantes wear brightly colored, ornate masks (máscaras) of all colors and a costume with bat-like wings. The word vejigante comes from the words vejiga (bladder) and gigante (giant), due to the custom of blowing up and painting cow bladders. Bystanders are often tapped with the bladders during the processional. The masks are often linked to many festivals that continue today, especially in the cities of Loíza and Ponce.

Text Any textual data included in the document The Orisha traditions and belief systems, while originating in Africa, are now practiced worldwide. This evolution of these traditions in Cuba is an example of hte meshing of African and European cultures. Practitioners of Orisha belief systems were brought from Yorubaland in Nigeria during the transatlantic slave trade and kept their traditions alive throughout the Caribbean and the diaspora, often disguising their traditional forces of nature with avatars of Catholic Saints. Orisha are not gods or deities. In Ochá there is only one God called "Olodumare" or "Olofin" and many aspects of god or natural forces which are known as Orisha. Each Orisha has many roads or paths, just as each force of nature can behave in different ways at different times. Those who believe in and are devoted to the Orisha are called Aborisha. Those initiated as priests and priestesses of the religion are called Olorisha. Orisha belief has spread throughout the world and is practiced by people of all cultures.
