Shamanism, rooted in African communities, has made its way across the Atlantic and found a home in the vibrant landscape of the Americas. I delved into the ties between African shamanism and the mystical allure of New Orleans while doing this painting. The connection is essential to explore this painting and the historical background of African shamanism. Despite the disruptive influence of the transatlantic slave trade, African shamanism managed to survive and adapt in the slave colonies, from New York to New Orleans. African shamanism found fertile ground to flourish. Intertwined with the rituals, practices, and beliefs inherited from African shamanism. The legacy of African shamans can be witnessed in various aspects of Caribbean Culture, married to the deep south of North American traditions, music, and art. With the celebration of Carnival it's fitting to come across this man at the Carnival bestowing us with spiritual blessing from ancestors.
