Workshops in Cuba
Tambó runs workshops in Cuba. From their web site: "Drawing from some of the best
that Cuba has to offer, we bring to you drummers and dancers from the well known companies
of Los Munequitos de Matanzas and Grupo AfroCuba from Matanzas, and Havana's Conjunto Folklorico Nacional de Cuba. We will
spend most of our time residing in the city of Matanzas, where music is deeply rooted in
the Afrocuban tradition, as Matanzas City was settled by slaves of Yoruba, Calabar and
Congo descent over a century ago. The city, located just two hours east of Havana, is
situated on the stunning Bay of Matanzas and maintains all of Cuba's warmth and charm. The
languid pace and the personal, individual attention of these master drummers and dancers
give workshop participants a unique opportunity to experience the Afrocuban culture first
hand. " |
