The Raíces Cultural Center Ensemble was asked to share the traditions and cultures of the Caribbean through music, dance and song as part of the 2010 NAACP Kwanzaa Celebration. Raíces Ensemble members are pictured here playing batá and singing to the Orishas, or forces of nature. The batá are the sacred drums of the Yoruba, used to praise and call the Orishas.
