Brazil: Rio de Janeiro: A meeting at a terreiro for practising the Afro religion Macumba worshipping a number of spirits or orixás. At one time the religion was confined to the slave population and outlawed by the Catholic church, but it is now well established and followed by Brasilians of all social classes and other faiths.
