Abstract

The national cultures of Latin America and the Caribbean owe an important part of their historical formation to the settlement of enslaved Africans during the XVI - XIX centuries. The religions of African antecedents in Cuba constitute hard nuclei of cultural resistance, where the process of transculturation has left its mark. The study analyzes diverse epistemological positions of some researchers, as well as oral testimonies of religious and practitioners. The research is based on a systematic review with a critical approach based on the method of analysis and synthesis. The results offered reveal that religions of African origin have contributed significantly to the development of Latin American and Caribbean cultural identity. The resurgence of the Yoruba religion in Cuba is an example of the cultural legacy inherited from the transculturation process and passed down from generation to generation, enduring over time.

Abstract

Pampapu is a ritual healing practice deeply rooted in Andean spirituality, based on the belief that certain illnesses originate from the earth and must be treated through acts of ritual reciprocity. Despite advances in conventional medicine and processes of cultural globalization, this practice remains active in various Andean communities as an expression of cultural memory and collective identity. The study was conducted using a qualitative ethnographic approach in communities of Ayacucho, Peru, through in-depth interviews, oral testimonies, and participant observation, with particular attention to traditional healers (yachaq) and residents who turn to pampapu as a therapeutic alternative. Findings indicate that pampapu integrates ancestral knowledge transmitted orally, rituals associated with Pachamama, and elements of popular Catholicism, forming a therapeutic system that transcends the physical dimension. In conclusion, pampapu constitutes a living manifestation of Andean spirituality and cultural memory, underscoring the need to promote intercultural health approaches that recognize the complementarity between traditional knowledge and modern medicine.
