Pataki is a dictionary of ancient Yoruba words, translated to Spanish and then to English. It is an essential reference for anyone who wishes to delve into the roots of the orisha songs of the ancient West African Yoruba/Lukumi tradition as it is practiced in Cuba today. L zaro Pedroso has devoted an academic and spiritual lifetime in Havana, Cuba, to teaching a new generation the traditions and religions that were carried to the New World 300 years ago as the sole possessions of West African slaves. This book represents a lifetime of knowledge, study and practice, and the author's commitment to pass that information on to the future so that the ancient orishas will live on through the religious devotion of future generations. English translation by Christiane Hayashi.
