Citation needed date September 2009 The group formed under the name Guaguanc Matancero in 1952, in Barrio Marina, Matanzas , Cuba. Among their first recordings was the song Los mu equitos Esteban Lantri which made reference to comic strips in Cuba. Such was the popularity of this record that the public changed the name of the group to Los mu equitos Cuban term for comic strips, literally little dolls . Three generations of the same family are represented in the band. They have also performed with singer Carlos Embale. Los Mu equitos de Matanzas has been instrumental in the preservation of African traditions such as the secret society of the Abaku and the Lukum belief system see Santer a , while simultaneously looking to their Spanish heritage for inspiration. The music of Los Mu equitos directly reflects the syncretism that exists in Cuba as sacred songs to the orisha s often coexist with more secular themes and adaptations of Spanish songs in a single record or performance.
