Kasibahagua is Oral Tradition

According to Taino oral tradition, Kasibahagua is one of two caves located in a sacred mountain of Cauta, and was the original place of emergence of the Taino People after a great flood that covered the whole earth had subsided. It is from this cave that the Taino went from living in darkness to living in the light. The other cave, called Amaiauna, represents the “place of the others”. It is from this cave that Taino people respectfully acknowledged all the other peoples who share their world.

Kasibahagua Thanks Elba Anaca Lugo

The Kasibahagua Taino Cultural Society would like to take this opportunity to say hahom (thank you) to Elba Anaca Lugo and the members of Paseo Taino/Travesia Taina for all their inspiration over the years. Paseo Taino/Travesia Taina performed contemporary Puerto Rican Folk Music and Taino music and dance throughout Boriken, the Caribbean, and the U.S. In the late 1980’s Elba Anaca Lugo urged a small number of Taino residing in the New York area to formally establish Taino cultural/socio/political organizations in the United States. As a result of this inspiration, Roberto Múkaro Borrero founded, along with some former members of Travesia Taina, the Kasibahagua (Cacibajagua) Taino Cultural Society in 1993.
