They are secretive. they do not come out with popular songs- or parodies on Popular songs ( like the parody Lovely lady dressed in Blue- which is an obvious re-take on Love me Tender) - it's a secret movement, they don"t have theme songs. actually I am not aware of any Non-Spanish songs that are associated with the movement.

Tradition of Mindanao
The question is itself a bit strange in that it assumes funerary rituals of their own culture are "norma" as oppose to "unusual". I would say that all cultures have varying rites, rituals and ceremonies. Hindu, Muslim, Jewish, Catholic, Buddhist, Vodou, Santeria (Lucumi) and many others have culturally relative practices when it comes to funerary customs. Even within these broad headings there are variations among them including Vodou, Santeria and other African diasporic traditions. Most religions are composite and borrow from other cultures through diffusion and other forms of interaction over long periods of time. Christianity itself is an amalgam of Roman, Greek, Jewish, Pagan, Egyptian religious practices. So to answer your question, yes as with all cultures and traditions Vodou, Santeria, Lucumi, Candomble and other African diasporic traditions are unique to the cosmology of African traditions, vary and are highly complex.
There are practices in Santeria that involve the drinking of blood; I do not know if all believers in Santeria are required to do so.
Santeria is not a religion but a practice.

Santeria does not have any uniform apparel codes- like some religions do. There is no prescribed habit or costume for Santeria priests, to my knowledge.
Celia Cruz was raised Roman Catholic but later identified as a Santería practitioner, a religion with roots in Yoruba traditions. She integrated elements of Santería into her music and performances, celebrating her Afro-Cuban heritage.
