"The Angolas a group of immigrants were members of brotherhoods who venerated different images, carrying out related religious acts in which they remembered their freedom and nostalgically sang the songs of their ancestors in their own languages; they also tended the sick, and gave their members a decent burial through the payment of small subscriptions by the brothers. In 1650 the various groups of Angolas united and created a joint brotherhood in the Pachacamilla district (located in Peru), where indigenous people from Pachacamac had previously lived, and where stands the shurch and monastery of Nazarenas and the building of the brotherhood of the Lord of Miracles. Their life conditions were those of absolutely poverty"(Simola M, 2008).
