Mari Silva Santería Audiobook: Lucumí Practices, Orishas & Yoruba History

Listeners looking for an audiobook about Santería, Lucumí practices, orishas, and the history of Yoruba people in the Americas will find those subjects brought together in this title by Mari Silva.

Narrated by Fabio Persa, this unabridged Audible audiobook runs 3 hours and 41 minutes, making it a single audio program to explore the themes named in the book’s title.

What matters most

The book covers several connected areas: spells and rituals, orishas, Lucumí practices, and the history of how Yoruba people lived in the Americas. That breadth gives listeners a way to approach Santería through both its spiritual practices and its historical context, rather than focusing on only one of those subjects. The title is part of the African Spirituality series.

Because it is an audiobook, the material is presented in a narrated format instead of as printed text. Fabio Persa narrates the unabridged edition, so listeners can follow the work as one continuous program. What would you like to explore first: the practices, the orishas, or the historical perspective? The book’s stated scope brings all three into the same listening experience.

Best use cases

This audiobook suits listeners seeking an introduction to the topics named in its title, or those who want an audio resource that brings Santería, Lucumí practices, and Yoruba history in the Americas into one program. It may also fit a listening queue focused on African spirituality or religious and cultural practices. The unabridged format preserves the complete audiobook presentation, while its defined running time helps listeners plan when to listen.

Compared with collecting separate audio resources for each subject, this title groups its stated themes under one cover. That makes it a practical format for someone who wants to explore the relationship between spiritual practices and historical background within a single work. It is also easy to place alongside other audiobooks in a broader study or personal listening list.

How to use it

Choose a listening session that suits your schedule and follow the narration from the beginning, or return to the subjects that interest you as you listen. The program is 3 hours and 41 minutes long, so you can plan for a continuous session or divide the listening across multiple sittings. Since it is an Audible audiobook, access and playback depend on the Audible format and the listening setup you use.

For a focused experience, keep the title’s scope in mind: it brings together Santería, spells and rituals, orishas, Lucumí practices, and Yoruba history in the Americas. This can help you decide whether you want to listen for the spiritual-practice themes, the historical angle, or the way the book combines them. The narration gives the material an audio-first presentation without changing the book’s unabridged format.
