Candomblé Jejé

Candomblé Jejé, also known as Brazilian Vodum, is one of the major branches (nations) of Candomblé. It has roots in the beliefs of the Adja, Fon and Ewe peoples from what H.B. Capo called the "Gbe speaking area", which today is around southeastern Ghana, southern Togo, southern Benin, and the southwestern fringe of Nigeria. Historically this area was known as the Slave Coast of West Africa.
