The interplay with the new generation of musicians from Cuba absolutely celebrates today’s Cuban street life and infects the audience with a high-spirited cheerfulness. With dance and music, Havana Rumba! celebrates the past and present of rumba – from the roots in the African fertility dance which was once danced by slaves on the sugar cane plantations to the rumba finding its way to the shipyards of Havana and Mantanza to today’s rum-filled rumba nights in Havana’s streets.
