Ettu

Probable

Afro-Jamaican ceremony and song-dance tradition of Hanover parish, associated with families tracing Yoruba descent: feasting, drumming and dance at memorial and family occasions. Less widely documented than Kumina or Revival, it is one of the parish-level traditions that kept African practice specific rather than general.
