FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS

·                                 Workshops : Taught by Local & Visiting Master Artists (Guaguanco,  Orisha, Son, Casino Rueda, Congo, Arará, Samba, Batá Drumming and more) for beginners and advanced levels.

·                                 After Party (July 19th) Featuring DJ Melao and IFE-ILE umba jam

·                                 The Arts & Mind Center, where this year's festival workshops and Gala will take place, is a gorgeous, Havana-style building with sun-filled dance studios, balconies and a spacious courtyard for outdoor events. It's located in the heart of Coconut Grove, two blocks from Coco Walk (a popular outdoor mall). Coconut Grove is an eclectic village and artist community made up of funky open air cafes, cool stores and ethnic restaurants, infused with sidewalk artists, an exciting nightlife and cultural activities.

Renowned Afro-Cuban choreographer and dancer Neri Torres founded the IFE-ILE Afro-Cuban Dance Festival in 1998. She began the festival to reflect the multiple ethnicities of South Florida, and include other dance traditions that share African roots. Says Torres, "Our festival gives people of all backgrounds -- whether they're dancers or not -- the opportunity to enjoy, learn and engage in a celebration of the folk traditions of the African Diaspora in Latin America and the U.S."

IFE-ILE's 9th Annual Afro-Cuban Dance Festival offers more than Afro-Cuban dance and drum workshops and events. Here in Miami, Cuban and other African, Caribbean and Latin American cultures thrive and pulse in the neighborhoods. Culture is in the everyday here and now, and not something you will find just in the workshops. 

Hi folks --
There are A LOT of salsa yahoogroups out there already, so this is
not the place to post your purely salsa news. For instance, if you
are announcing a salsa festival, please specify which
classes/workshops you are offering that are specifically Afro-Cuban:
son, mambo, rumba, Orisha, timba, etc.

Otherwise, we will ask that you leave the group.

** What we ARE interested in are your stories -- from wherever you
live -- of any Afro-Cuban dance/music classes/teachers/events that
you are aware of. Are there any instructors you particularly like?
What were your favorite workshops? Have you taken classes/workshops
outside the U.S.? In Cuba? Europe? Other parts of Latin America? Are
you interested in a specific dance/music traditions -- like Makuta,
for instance? Let us know!

We also welcome any news/comments about other types of African
Diasporic dance/music -- from Brazil, Columbia, Uruguay, Haiti, etc.,
although our focus is of course Afro-Cuban.

Please share your experiences/thoughts/recommendations!

Corinna

Rafael: Thank you very much Chris for the opportunity to talk about Havanason. It is an honor for us to keep the Salsa and Latin Jazz flame alive. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico in the 70's, the golden age of Salsa music, in my humble opinion. I grew up listening to Roberto Roena, Tommy Olivencia, Harlow, Pacheco, etc. I was able to see these musical heroes performing live many, many times. I still remember my high school graduation party in which we had Willie Rosario, Roberto Roena and La Sonora Poncena performing! Anyway, I started playing with our local band called "La Secuencia" playing percussion and doing the coros. I was 15 or 16 years old. I gradually moved to the Conga and started to play in all the "rumbas" in the neighborhood. I was taught from the very beginning how to play the true folkloric rhythms of guaguanco, columbia, etc. Then I went to college to be a pharmacist and eventually joined the Air Force in 1984 as a Pharmacy Officer. Everywhere that I went in my 20 years of active service, I took my congas and my salsa records with me. I was stationed in Texas, Arkansas, Panama, Germany, California, Florida and South Carolina and at all these places I always ran into somebody that was working on putting a band to play this music.

GUAGUANCO, The Rumba Musical Copyright 1999
A Neri Torres' and IFE-ILE production

Description:
Guaguanco Oyelo Bien is a musical production that pays tribute to
the history of Afro-Cuban music while pointing the spotlight on the
popular Cuban Rumba with a casting of 9 dancers, 2 actors and 7
musicians.

The show traces the African rhythms that give birth to the Rumba
back to the end of the 19th century when it was born on the docks of
Havana, Cuba. The story speaks about the evolution of this music
style and also the way it has contributed to today's Latin musical
flavor.

From a contemporary perspective the piece bounds the traditional
with the avant-garde, the authentic with the commercial. The concept
is to tell the story of the people who created the authentic Rumba.
With a whole lotta rhythm dance, music and even audience
interaction, Guaguanco presents a tableau of different events and
places later on important in Cuban culture: The Market Place, The
Docks, etc. The script shows the transcendence of Rumba from the
Spanish colonial times to Havana "Solares" (ghettos) up to a Miami
Beach jam celebration.

Script: Neri Torres / Natividad Torres
Choreography, Producer: Neri Torres
