description The religious diversity of Latin America is a phenomenon that has gathered the attention of researchers from different fields. Along with the expressions of belief and feeling related to Catholics and Protestants, who are still the majority, there are diverse religious practices, in this article we will focus on the analysis of practices and beliefs arising from the Afro-descendant presence in the continent in general as well as in the region known as the Triple Frontier, in a particular way. The strong socio-cultural interrelationships feedback on the intense flow of people and material/symbolic goods, complexing religious matrices, reframing beliefs and resisting colonial violence. Our reflection is based on long fieldwork at the border towns Ciudad del Este (Paraguay), Puerto Iguaçu (Argentina) and Foz do Iguaçu (Brazil), with an ethnographic approach, documents, and bibliographic review. In this direction, this article seeks to discuss the way in which Afro-descendants have been organized and maintained in this dynamic and multiform religious scenario. Throughout this path, our intention is to characterize the specificities of the different manifestations of belief/devotion/practices of/in the region originating or re-signified by the African diaspora on the continent, while we will seek to configure the socio-historical context of the emergence of the referred religious groups. And we expect to have, in the end, an ethnographic and analytical picture of the religious effects of the African presence on the south of the Latin American continent.

La diversidad religiosa de América Latina es un fenómeno que ha captado la atención de investigadores de diferentes campos. Junto con las expresiones de creencias y sentimientos relacionados con católicos y protestantes, que siguen siendo la mayoría, existen diversas prácticas religiosas, en este artículo nos centraremos en el análisis de las prácticas y creencias derivadas de la presencia afrodescendiente en el continente en general y las estrategias sociales de invisibilización o marginalización de estas prácticas en la región conocida como la Triple Frontera. Las fuertes interrelaciones socioculturales retroalimentan el intenso flujo de personas y bienes materiales /simbólicos, complejas matrices religiosas, reflotar creencias y resistir la violencia colonial. Nuestra reflexión se basa en largos trabajos de campo en las ciudades fronterizas Ciudad del Este (Paraguay), Puerto Iguazú (Argentina) y Foz do Iguaçu (Brasil), con un enfoque etnográfico, documentos y revisión bibliográfica. En esta dirección, este artículo busca discutir la forma en que los afrodescendientes han sido organizados y mantenidos en este escenario religioso dinámico y multiforme. A lo largo de este camino, nuestra intención es caracterizar las especificidades de las diferentes manifestaciones de creencias/devoción/prácticas de/en la región es originada o resignificada por la diáspora africana en el continente, mientras que trataremos de configurar el contexto sociohistórico del surgimiento de los grupos religiosos referidos. Y esperamos tener, al final, una imagen etnográfica y analítica de los efectos religiosos de la presencia africana en el sur del continente latinoamericano.
