Afro-Cuban festivals

Also known as Afrocubano, Afro-Cubain, Folklore Cubano

Afro-Cuban covers the folkloric dances carried to Cuba by enslaved West Africans: the orisha dances of the Yoruba tradition such as Yemayá, Ochún and Changó, alongside Congo and Arará forms. This is the root vocabulary that casino and timba borrow from, and studying it changes how people move socially. Classes are usually taught with live drums.

3 upcoming festivals across 2 countries.
