Batuque is an Afro-Brazilian religion, practiced mainly in Brazil.[1][2][3][4] The Batuque pantheon includes spirits rather than gods, who are mostly thought to come in two types: Catholic saints and encantados (anthropomorphic spirits who "inhabit the tangible world" and mostly come from Brazil, although there are foreigners in their rank).[4] "Spirit possession and mediumship are...integral to Batuque worship."[4]

History

The religion started in the cities of Belém[4] and Porto Alegre, the capital of Rio Grande do Sul.
