Description
Raices Profundas is widely regarded as one of the world’s most authentic performing ensembles in the Afro-Cuban folkloric traditions.Raíces Profundas makes its US Debut, May 2-6, 2012, with an incredible show that displays the talent and virtuosity of the group and its director/choreographer Juan de Dios Ramos Morejon. The engagement includes classes, workshops and five days of performances exclusively in San Francisco.
The concert follows the dynamic history of Cuba's music and dance genres starting with the colorful Afro-Cuban traditions, including Palo Monte and the fiery Orisha dances of the Yoruba pantheon (Elegua, Oshun, Ogun, Chango and Yemaya).
The second half of the show gives the audience a glimpse into Cuba’s popular music and dance styles, such as Chankletas, Son, Cha Cha Cha, and contemporary Cuban Salsa. The two parts of the show are tied together by the group’s interpretation of the sensual and provocative movements of the Rumba cycle (Yambu, Guaguanco and Columbia).
