The god of thunder and the ancestor of the Yoruba people of Nigeria. He is the son of Yemaja the mother goddess and protector of birth. Shango (Xango) has three wives: Oya, who stole Shango's secrets of magic; Oschun, the river goddess who is Shango's favorite because of her culinary abilities; and Oba, who tried to win his love by offering her ear for him to eat. He sent her away in anger and she became the river Oba, which is very turbulent where it meets the river Oschun. Shango is portrayed with a double axe on his head (the symbol of thunder), with six eyes and sometimes with three heads. His symbolic animal is the ram, and his favorite colors are red and white, which are regarded as being holy. In Brazil, Shango is worshipped as a thunder and weather god by the Umbandists. In Santeria, Shango (Chango) is the equivalent of the Catholic saint St. Barbara.
Shango was once the fourth king of Yoruba, immortalized after death.

How did revivalism came to the Caribbean?
Revivalism in the Caribbean can be traced back to the period of African enslavement, when enslaved Africans blended their traditional spiritual beliefs with Christianity introduced by European colonizers. This syncretic form of spirituality evolved into various revivalist movements across the region, such as Myalism in Jamaica and Shango in Trinidad and Tobago, characterized by drumming, dancing, and spirit possession as a means of connecting with the divine. Revivalism provided a way for enslaved peoples to maintain their cultural identity, resist oppression, and seek spiritual empowerment.

What are the names of the sons of god?
Christians believe in the one God of Abraham, also revered by Judaism and Islam. The Hebrew tradition represented the name of this god with the tetragram (transliterated from hebrew): YHWH. They further believe that this same deity revealed Himself via incarnation in the person of Jesus Christ, whose name means (roughly translated from several derivations): the annointed savior. The vast majority of Christians also believe in the triune nature of god, meaning that the one God comprises three persona: The Creator, The Sustainer, and The Redeemer traditionally referred to as: the father, the son and the holy ghost. These three persona are collectively called The Holy Trinity.I assume you mean the Christian God?His name is Elohim (a plural form of El) suggesting what is later revealed that He is a Tri-unity.
