This lecture/class is open to all dancers and cuban music fans.

Dance class, Demonstration, and Multimedia presentation on the ABAKUA!

Join Roberto Borrell and Rueda Con Ritmo, as Roberto explores how an all-male secret society from the Calabar region in Africa was transplanted, survived, and evolved to influence nearly all aspects of Cuban music and dance.

Roberto will give a lecture on the musical connection between Abakwa, Rumba and Timba, demonstrate the dance of the Ireme (see image above) and provide a short dance class for you to learn the basic moves.

Take your understanding of Cuban music to a new level!
