Mambo (voodoo)
Mambo is the term for a female (as opposed to the houngan, or male) High Priest in the Voodoo religion in Haiti. They are the highest form of clergy in the religion, whose responsibility it is to preserve the rituals and songs and maintain the relationship between the spirits and the community as a whole (though some of this is the responsibility of the whole community as well).
