ROOTS OF THE CONGA ORIENTAL WORKSHOP
This song, dance, and percussion workshop is an immersive exploration of the vibrant rhythms, movements, and cultural heritage of Guantánamo, the Eastern most province of Cuba. We will study some familiar rhythms, such as Gagá and Vodú, as well as some new rhythms: Tajona and Carabalí, which are some of the most influential rhythms in the development of the Carnaval-based Conga Oriental musical tradition.
