Umbanda
Umbanda is a
religion
that blends
Catholicism
,
Kardecist Spiritualism
, and
Afro-Brazilian
religions. It originated in
Brazil
in the early
20th century
through a medium, Zélio Fernandino de Moraes, who worked among the Afro-Brazilian population of
Rio de Janeiro
. It has since spread across Brazil and to
Uruguay
and
Argentina
. The term "Umbanda" derives from
Kimbundu
, an Angolan language, and means "religious practitioners".
