It is a religion, music and dance practiced by in large part Jamaicans who reside in the eastern parish on St. Thomas on the island. These people have retained the drumming and dancing of the Bantu-speaking peoples of the Congo. Like the Kongo practitioners from Cuba, they have kept a large amount of the Kongo language alive. In the Americas there are many Kongo-derived religions still being practiced today. |
