What is Olunde's character in death and the king's horseman?
Olunde is the son of Elesin, horseman to the King. Elesin has lead a good life, beloved of his people but neglects to fulfil his duty to the Yoruban people by comitting ritual suicice after his King's death. Olunde has been sent abroad by the Pilkings (English colonisers) to become a doctor. Previously to the play Elesin has disowned his son. However, as Olunde points out disowning is not the same in Yoruban culture, Olunde will always be a part of Yoruban life, he will always be part of the rituals and traditions, it is his birthright and his duty. He is therefore shamed when he arrives home to bury his father and discovers that he has not fulfilled his end of the bargain. So Olunde sacrifices himself to prevent dishonour upon his family and to restore the world order. Olunde seems to represent the fluid movement of Yoruban culture. Soyinka does not present this culture as static, lost in time, a culture that does not develop (Olunde recieives a telegram about the impending death of his father from someone in the village, this shocks the Pilkings who didn't think the 'savages' could do such things!) instead Soyinka shows that Yoruban life changes according to the time, but that this does not effect their world view. Olunde has to kill himself to ensure that the passage between the Ancestors and the Living stays open but also to ensure that the colonisers do not win in their attemots to quell Yoruban rituals and interpretations of life. The whole text becomes a struggle for meaning, which Olunde ironically wins in death. Western literary theory would have us believe that once the text is consumed by the market place, the author is dead and the meaning can be toyed with by any reader. However in Yoruban culture the meaning of the ritual text is solidifed by the death of the author/auteur.

The marking of the head can be done when you receive your mano de orunla, it is advised that the person who is doing such should already have godparents.� i have heard some people go and receive orunla with out having elekes, which would mean that they don't have any godparent representation, normally this is not very recommended.
What is the dominant religion in Cuba?
Cuba has been a Communist country since 1959. In some instances Catholicism is much modified and influenced through syncretism. A common syncretic religion is Santería, which combined the Yoruban religion of the African slaves with Catholicism and some Native American strands; it shows similarities to Brazilian Umbanda and has been receiving a degree of official support. The Roman Catholic Church estimates that 60 percent of the population is Catholic, but only 5% of that 60% attends mass regularly,while independent sources estimate that as few 1.5% of the population does so. Membership in Protestant churches is estimated to be 5 percent and includes Baptists, Pentecostals, Seventh-day Adventists, Presbyterians, Anglicans, Episcopalians,Methodists, Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), and Lutherans. Other groups include the Greek Orthodox Church, the Russian Orthodox Church, Jehovah's Witnesses,Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Baha'is, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons). Cuba is home to a variety of syncretic religions of largely African cultural origin.

Why are samba capoeira chants and santeria significant to study and appreciate in jazz?
The question itself points in many different directions. Jazz musicians have long been ethno-sponges. Though our persistent will to categorize will always generate debate as to "what is and what isn't", there is little question that musicians themselves often look for ways to expand their horizons, or at least their tools. From a purely technical standpoint we may survey the global scene from a Borg-ist drive to assimilate. From a more anthropological perspective, there is the fascinating development of parallel histories based on African traditions mutating within new circumstances. Call and response forms, field hollers, dance/fight games, various tensions between secular and non secular contexts, all were present in one way or another across "the new world". IE places where slaves were brought. But the specific forms and their evolutions vary. (including of course, the very means of music making---what remained the berimbau in Bahia became the banjo in the southern US, or so goes one history.) I will answer pursuant to my own primary interest. Initially however, i think we need to tease out important distinctions between participants and performers. My understanding is that the relationship between dancers and musicians in live settings is more dialogical, or dialectical perhaps in many African traditions than in the contemporary US. That is to say, it is a "dancing with" rather than a "dancing to". My suggestion is that we cant speak of , say, capoeira chants/music distinct from the movement form itself. (Clearly i am focusing here on a particular subdivision of the question. Santeria's Yoruban cousin in Brazil is Candomble, which has all sorts of intersections with capoeira. However, it is the irreducible form of Capoeira movement/Capoeira music that i will henceforth try and attend to) Jazz in the US has (in general) mutated into something which, though requiring intense and active listening engagement, is largely performed to a seated audience. These days, Capoeira music is indeed listened to in car and home stereos and perhaps even at concert halls, just as capoeira moves can be seen in movies and MTV videos and advertisements, as we see the classic process of divorce from the signifier and the signified . But still, the dominant form of the music is one of absolute symbiosis with the movement form. Thus i think we must speak of capoeira as a single multi faceted entity. Though, as i initially suggested, one might indeed listen to, for instance, a berimbau player strictly to exploit the marvelous use of variation and timbral nuance ( or whatever...) , it is when considering the entire capoeira experience with an eye/ear towards parallels in the North American development of jazz my own interest becomes particularly stimulated.
