Congo-Cuba in New York: Palo Mayombe Music, Dance & Religion 5/11/2015 City
University of New York: "Join leading scholars, priests, and performers of
Afro-Cuban Congo culture for enlightening presentations and discussions
exploring the ways music, dance, religion, and philosophy influence how a people
conceive of themselves, negotiate relationships with each other, and their
history. Participants will elaborate the ways practitioners surface notions of
warfare, identity, and power through drum and music practice. What theoretical
organizing frameworks surface through the music, dance, and religious practice
and what are their relationships to Congo, to Cuba, and to other
Congo-influenced practices such as Petwo in Haiti? What is unique to Palo
Mayombe and how does this impact current knowledge in Caribbean Studies, African
Diaspora Studies, Ethnomusicology, and Cultural Studies?"
