In a wonderful and charming environment of celebration for Cuban music, took place from February 23 - 25 the 2018 edition of the Aotearoa Cuban Festival.
As every year, the event brought to this beautiful and gorgeous city, a space of knowledge, rhythms, dances and Cuban culture in general.
More than two hundred enthusiasts for Cuban music from New Zealand and Australia made it to the Festival.
Cuban and Maori rhythms got a interesting opportunity to mix and produce a magic blend of cultures.
During the festival, half a dozen Cuban and kiwis artists based in the South Pacific, presented workshops of rumba, cha-cha-cha, salsa, mambo, Afro-Cuban dances, casino “ruedas” and cubatón, attracting the involvement of people of all ages, all amused by the energy and passion that characterizes Cuban music.
The Aotearoa Cuban Festiva is organized by the homonymous Trust, a non-profit organization whose mission is to disseminate Cuban music and achieve the inclusion and participation of the community through extensive exchange programs in the field of music and dance. (Embacuba NZ)
