This article aims to analyze the Ancestral Traditional Religions in black African context, emphasizing the relationship between religion and ethnicity in the community life. That analysis has allowed to highlight the essential components of the black African universe. Black African ethnicity as a way of functional expression of different ethnic groups brings to light the cultural practices and perspectives that distinguish these groups from one another. With a method of reviewing and analyzing the literature, it is shown that the significant traits of cultural identity in traditional black Africa are regulated by the location of the subject or group that identifies itself ethnically
