According to a report from La Papeleta, the dance group will perform rarely seen pieces that marked high points in the history of the company, such as Cautivos, in which slaves brought from Africa in captivity arrive with their ancestral rites, songs, dances and iron will to achieve freedom.

 

Another of the show's pieces is Okún, a work dedicated to the orisha Yemayá, in which the deep blue, undulating, calm or stormy sea is witness to the slave trade, and Yemayá, mother of the universe, dances frantically shaking her waters.

 

The pas de Deux Olokun, dedicated to this mystical deity of the African pantheon Yorubá who reigns unquestionably in the depths of the oceans, will also return to the scene in the last decade.

 

The works Habanera, Oguere, Oyá, Ayanu, Danzón Barroco, among others, will also be danced from August 18 to 20, and the piece Carnavaleandoo, a divertimento that expresses through complex polyrhythms dances such as La Tahona, Guaguancó, Columbia and baile de la chancletas, will be performed at the closing.

 

Such revelry is an expression of the joy of these rumberas and carnival manifestations so popular in Cuba (Source: PL).
