'''[[ | '''[[Quimbanda]]''' is an [[African diaspora religion|Afro-Brazilian religion]] practiced primarily in the urban city centers of Brazil. The religion borrowed many aspects of other traditions, especially [[Umbanda]] and [[Candomblé]]. Quimbanda focuses on male spirits called ''exús'' as well as their female counterparts, ''pomba giras''. ''Pomba giras'' are often regarded as the spirits of deceased women who worked as prostitutes or in other positions traditionally considered immoral in [[Christianity|Catholic]] Brazilian society. Quimbanda's practices are often focused on worldly success regarding money and sex. | ||
