Remigio Herrera

Ño Remigio Herrera Adeshina Obara Meyi was a babalawo recognized for being, along with his mentor Carlos Adé Ño Bí, the main successor of the religious system of Ifá in America. Ño Remigio Herrera was perhaps the most famous surviving African in Cuba in the 19th century. Ño, synonymous to "Sir", was a title of distinction, a term of respect and endearment bestowed upon the great native elders of the African "nations" on the island. His name "Adeshina" means "Crown-Opens-The-Way" in Yoruba.
