Ebo is the work
by excellence. It´s the work most commonly performed by Babalawos
and Santeros who have enough knowledge. The eboses that Babalawos perform
are very different from those of Santeros. Eboses are done with several
prayers in African language and a series of cleansings. Babalawos perform
eboses with an obeate (also called tablero) while santeros do it without
them. An ebo can last between 15 and 50 minutes, depending on the speed
of the priest that performs it. |
