Roots + Rumba!

Cuba's fabulous Los Muñequitos de Matanzas

ROOTS + RUMBA WORKSHOP

presented in collaboration with  
Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance,  
MAPP International Productions 

Friday, May 6 (12noon-2pm)

The Cornerstone Center
178 Bennett Avenue (at 189th Street), Manhattan
Take the A train to 190th Street.
Los Muñequitos de Matanzas offer the purest sounds and movements of their Afro-Cuban heritage, with live music, presented and explained in a very accessible and friendly way. They begin with Yoruba Orisha dances through all Rumba styles, bringing all the power and joy of their performance to energize workshop participants. This is a dance workshop but singers and drummers are welcome as well. All levels welcome. Please wear comfortable clothing to dance.
By performing Max Pollak's RumbaTap choreography in their shows over the last decade, Los Muñequitos have helped popularize this new element in Afro-Cuban folklore all over Cuba and worldwide.
Workshop fee: $20 (no reservations necessary)
