Aggayú Solá and Shango

They dance with sudden movements to the beat of the music, sometimes they perform combat simulations in which they fight with machetes, axes and other defense weapons.

Tobacco, liquor and dry wine are offered to these Orishas as a sign of respect and devotion.

Shango the king of music, dance and Batá drums.
