Description
These workshops are an opportunity to learn some of the sacred rhythms and dances used to honour the African gods (Orishas) that have become syncretised with Catholic Saints through the Cuban religious tradition of Santería.
Santería is a vibrant religious tradition, the result of centuries of contact in Cuba between European Catholic elements and traditional African, Yoruba religion.
Learn the intricate rhythms of the sacred batá drums with master drummer José Ferrera Mulen.
Learn the movements and dances of the Orishas with expert teacher, Guillermo Davis ‘El Iyawo’.
José and Guillermo are former members of the acclaimed Cuban dance group Danza Libre now based in the UK.
Those who have attended the dance workshops will also have a chance to perform in the evening (as part of the Cuban Orishas – Performance).
This performance, with former members of the acclaimed Cuban dance group Danza Libre, will present aspects of Santería worship alongside some of the stories of the Orishas (Yoruba deities syncretised with Catholic Saints) and their exhilarating songs, rhythms and dances.
