Santería’s sacred influences are all over some of today’s best Latin music. Of course, the religion’s ceremonial rhythms and incantations have always held a place in Afro-Latino communities, yet they haven’t always entered into contemporary popular taste without backlash. Santería — a syncretic mashup of Christian doctrines and west and central African spiritual figures — inevitably carries with it a history that many in the Western world would rather care to forget. The formation of Regla de Ocha, as it is also known, harnesses the legacy of enslaved Yoruba peoples first brought to the solares of Cuba and the Americas.

Under the grips of slavery and later racist stigma, the practice of Santería and other Yoruba religions, like Brazil’s iteration of Candomblé, were often forced into secrecy. But in an age where ancestral belonging has become increasingly attractive, many have started loudly turning back to their roots. There are brujería collectives sprouting up across the States, television series like Netflix’s Siempre Bruja, and music artists across the diaspora who are passionate about infusing elements of Santería — from its orishas and imagery, to its ivory Santero/a ensembles — into their performances.

Yet upon first listen, there are times where those unfamiliar may not even realize Santería’s influence. The religious presence can feel subtle, as many of the artists on the list below take traditional Cuban batá rhythms into new territory altogether. Coupled with electrobeats, sprawling jazz stylings, and American hip hop flows, these songs emerge as Santería arrangements for the new age. And while they remain a gift for members of the Regla de Ocha, each song delivers an accessible glimpse into the spirit world for anyone who cares to listen. At best, you’ll hear your own slice of peace.
