Karjalainen: Karjalainen: referencing Umbanda faith, a mix of latin Catholicism and native african culture

Actually Umbanda refers as an Afro Brazilian religion and there is not much to do with dancing since dance is just for the cults, parties and representations. Umbanda refers much more to clairvoyance, possession by spirits (there is no evil or good, they just fit the purpose) and mediunity. Many times the ‘Cantos’ which are prayers are represented dancing (Giras e Rodas). The Brazilian culture uses this references on Carnaval, that’s why may be treated as dancers.

They call “Mãe de Santo” (or simply Baianas) and the male version corresponds as “Pai de Santo” - Mother/Father of Saint.

Edit: By the description “Macumbeiro” is a gross term for religion since Macumba is actually an african musical instrument so Macumbeiro is who plays it.
