"Olivorio Mateo (Papá Liborio) was the greatest messianic leader of the Dominican Republic. He arose in the interior southwest of the Dominican Republic as a traditional healer and advocate of the marginalized peasantry during the period of transition from precapitalistic to capitalistic society. The revival of Liborismo through the Movement of Palma Sola (1962-62) and the continued devotion to Liborio as an incarnation of Jesus Christ are documented. Includes testimonials, rituals, and music of palos (long-drums), salves, and the "comarca" used by Liborio for healing."
