 Espiritismo in Cuba would eventually mix with other local African elements and produce Espiritismo Cruzao which would gain in popularity in the early 1900s.By the Cuban Revolution espiritisa practices became banned and pushed underground but still retain a presence in Cuban society to this day.Cuban Americans and Puerto Rican Americans residing in New York and New Jersey began to meld the beliefs of Santeria and Espiritismo which became Santerísmo.
