Based on the Wikipedia link you shared, I think those people in your country are followers of Santeria. It is a bit different religion which also originated in Africa. They have similar origins as Vodou and share a lot of spirits which appear in both religions I will have to investigate a bit to find out who this spirit might be in Vodou, but it sounds like she might be represented by Erzulie Fréda in Vodou. Erzulie Fréda she is the spirit of love, beauty, jewelry, dancing, luxury, and flowers.
