  "lineage": "Comfa, also spelled cumfa or komfa, is an Afro-Guyanese religious practice in which drumming, singing and dancing bring on the manifestation of spirits of the dead, including spirits associated with Guyana's different peoples, who then counsel and heal those present. Ceremonies combine hymn-like songs with drum-driven spirit songs; Kean Gibson's 'Comfa Religion and Creole Language in a Caribbean Community' is its main study. The membrane-drum card stands in for the Comfa drums.",
