'''[[Zé Pilintra]]''' is one of the most important entities among several [[African diaspora religion|Afro-Brazilian religions]]. He is considered the patron [[saint]] of bars, poor people, and street hustlers. Although not aligned with negative entities, Zé Pelintra is the embodiment of a "rogue" archetype. Although reverence for him originated from the Catimbó tradition in the Northeast Region of Brazil, devotion to him has spread throughout Brazil after he was incorporated into [[Umbanda]]. Perhaps most widely, he is invoked as the father of the “Brazilian way." A kind of cunning trickster figure, a master of street-smarts that the Brazilian people inherited from enslaved African that continues to help them survive discrimination and racism. | |||
