The correct answer would be santeria.

Santeria is usually synonymous with Cuba and other Caribbean nations. Santeria literary means the "worship of saints" and it mixes the numerous elements of the Yoruba religion with those of Catholicism. The religion emerged from the need of the Yoruba people to preserve their cultural heritage.
