Heritage, culture, and identity in cuba through the patakí

Of the oral stories that make up the intangible heritage of Cuba, the pataki stands out. This work is based on the importance that it has outside its sacred context, because although it has a high religious and philosophical significance, through it a significant cultural and identity value is preserved. The sample presented was presented by a popular storyteller, a figure who preserves these stories within his repertoire. The proposed methodology made it possible to demonstrate the importance and value that pataki maintains in the Cuban nation.
