The sacred stories of Santería are known as patakis (pronounced: pah-tah-KEES). They have been passed down orally from generation to generation for thousands of years, sometimes undergoing subtle transformations over time due to varying interpretative skills on the part of the storyteller, and sometimes due to linguistic and cultural shifts caused by migration to new lands. Join Rawle Gibbons as he chats with Janique Dennis and Adam Ade Ola Pascal about the Pataki and various elements of African Spirituality.
