Yon apèl nan aksyon ESPIRITYÈL!


Istwa se yon seri de konekte evènman ki lakòz yo moman sengilye ak siyifikativman enpòtan nan tan. Libète Ayiti a se vre rezilta a nan yon seri de konekte evènman, kèk plis remakab pase lòt moun.

Si memwa sèvi yo kòrèkteman, li te "seremoni Bois kaiman a" ki finalman ak byen fèm te plante grenn yo pou libète tou de nan tanporèl a kòm byen ke espirityèl sans. Men, li se ironik ke anpil panse a Vodou kòm yon "relijyon desantralize ak organize."

Malgre ke nou pa ka rejte lit yo ki te pran plas anvan ak apre Bois kaiman, li te nan Bois kaiman ki ayisyen frè ak sè yo te jwenn objektif nan inite, bi nan konfyans ak nan realizasyon nan ultim nan pwomès la pou libète pa konekte ak move lespri Zansèt.Nou nou an.

Avèk chanjman yo ki Lwa ayisyen, Vodou se anba atak ankò! Nou te wè rapò sa yo, te tande nan manifestasyon yo ak gen menm yon petisyon yo te sikile sou entènèt la, ki se yon inisyativ gwo pa frè ak sè nou. Sa a se yon apèl nan yon "ekleraj" inivèsèl sou li a, 1 NOVANM 2012 ant 7-8 AM EST pou pwoteksyon an nan Vodou an Ayiti.

Entansyon an se pa, epi pa janm yo pral, yo pote mal nan moun ki ta vle retire dwa nou an, men yo mennen yo nan limyè a epi enspire yo nan pwoteje libète relijyon nou an.

Sa a rele ale soti nan tout Vodouisant atravè glòb lan. Moun sa yo ki nan nou fèt soti nan Ayiti, ki moun ki menm yo pa moun zansèt ayisyen, kite l ap li te ye ke jodi a ou yo! Lè ou reponn apèl la nan move lespri yo li pase bra Vodou, ou pa sèlman eritye move lespri yo, men ou intrinsèquement te vin fè pati istwa ayisyen ak chanpyon nan prezèvasyon nan kilti nou yo ak pratik zansèt.

Se konsa, soti isit la tout kwen nan planèt sa a, tanpri, rantre nan nou sou 1ye novanm. Se pou nou rele sou zansèt nou epi sonje Bois kaiman! Gaye pawòl la nan chak kay, chak blog, chak manbo, Ougan, ak tout moun ki ap sèvi yo. Rele sou moun ki te resamman te pase! Se pou nou tout y'ap rele nan pye AYIBOBO sou 1ye novanm, ak nan mitan lannwit .... kite nou vle di li.

13th Havana Film Festival in NYC

Soy Tata Nganga: A documentary about Central African Religious Traditions in Cuba and the life of Enrique Hernández Armenteros.

Soy Tata Nganga (I Am a Tata Nganga) will be shown at Quad Cinema on Wednesday, April 18th, 2012 at 3:00pm as part of the 13th Havana Film Festival New York.

It is highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates Afro-Cuban culture, especially Las Reglas del Congo (The Congo Rite), known colloquially as Palo. The 22 minute documentary is based on the life of Enrique Hernández Armenteros also known as "Enriquito de la Hata," or simply "La Hata", a 93 year old man who has dedicated close to six decades of his life to las Reglas del Congo, has over 2000 godchildren, and founder of the procession of San Lazaro el Milagroso. The film is not only one of the few positive depictions of this religion currently available that is tastefully and professionally done but also a treasure for those who value the insight of a generation that is sadly disappearing.

For more information on the details of the event please follow this link: http://www.hffny.com/2012/film_details.php?id=75
