Haiti, Brazil or Cuba.

 

[Okocha]

Black cubans

 

[ISO]

Garifuna Hondurans.

 

[AB Ziggy]

Definitely Black Cubans and Jamaicans. Both cultures have heavy influences of the original cultures the slaves came from(the Yoruba culture for the black cubans and the akan culture for the Jamaicans)

Garifuna Hondurans.

African culture itself isn't monolithic nor did the slaves sent to each region of the Diaspora even come from the same place.

Basically, you're asking which places in the West are still filled with rural maroon like country folk lol.

Hell even urban areas of Africa are vastly different than the "bush."

 

[Payroll]

Haiti ....

 

[Supper]

African culture itself isn't monolithic nor did the slaves sent to each region of the Diaspora even come from the same place.

Nor, in the same proportions.

Where's your west african fiddles, flutes, pan pipes, and field hollering non-AA disapora brehs, since we eyeballing african cultural retentions?

Also Jamaicans have certain Igbo words in the their language.

There's Wolof, Igbo, Akan, Kongo, Fula, Efik as well as Yoruba words in patois. As well as other facets of cultural expressions from these various cultures.​
