This work analyses a ritual practiced in a Cuban religion, known as Santería, as space of creation and sustentation of the religious group. The investigation points out several arguments demonstrating the significance of the Santería as a religious system that helps people to deal with the profound social changes occurred and that are occurring in Cuba along its different historical periods. This, because in this religion the ritual works as a dynamic space that allows people to experience individual, collective, social and religious relationships. It is a space in which those who are involved find assumptions to face their daily life problems and challenges. The research focuses on: aspects related to a ritual named Wemilere or Tambor the Santo, relationships among those who are involved in it, their motivations and the liturgical spaces in which the celebration takes place. The topics here highlighted do not constitute an ultimate thought, but an attempt of studying a religious system which is very significant in the contemporary Cuban socio-cultural context.(AU)
