Workshop
The project of folklore music "Alfonso Iyae of UNEAC from Havana,
invites you to participate in the 3th rumba and military brass band’s
workshop in Bejucal, because of the traditional parties, where rumba and
conga will be interpreted and danced with the abilities of the musicians and
craftsmen from Bejucal.
Each January 1st "Alfonso House" offers to
relatives, friends, dancers and musicians that love music a fraternal
meeting with the origin of Bejucal’s folklore where all the participants
may carry out all the rumba and conga’s sounds through the vibration of
the voices and the contagious steps of the dancers.
The objectives of the workshop are the interpretation of the traditional
and contemporary rumba, based on the military brass band’s history of
Bejucal town. The tradition kept for more than 40 years at the celebration
of every January 1st at "Alfonso’s House", located in
Bejucal, Havana and complementation of rumba with the sounds of Bejucal’s
conga that since 1840 has been interpreted by different generations, that
goes beyond the presence of slaves at the streets of Bejucal to the fusion
of these rhythms with the contemporaneous sounds of present decade.
