The audiovisual entitled ‘Frances dances to Cuban Rhythm,’ was presented on social networks on occasion of the Week of Latin American and Caribbean Culture in the European nation, a collaboration of the Arts Center Enghien les Bains in France, the Cuban Music Institute and the country’s Ministry of Culture.

It compiles the experiences and testimony of the Cuban artists involved, among them César López and his group Habana Ensemble, tres player Pancho Amat, pianist and composer José María Vitier, singer Eduardo (Tiburón) Morales, dummer Samuel Formell, leader of iconic Formell y Los Van Van band, jazz pianist Alejandro Falcón, trumpet player Yasek Manzano, singer-songwriter Tony Ávila, dancer Santiago Alfonso and singers Luna Manzanares, Ivette Cepeda and Bárbara Llanes.

They thanked the Enghien les Bains Arts Center in Paris and its director Dominique Roland for this documentary film and the invitation to perform at festivals in France.
