Afreketé • Yambú - Guaguancó
Afreketé • Yambú - Guaguancó

Afreketé • Yambú - Guaguancó. Afreketé is a musical group dedicated to the research and interpretation of ancestral rhythms of Afro-Cuban origin, coming from the different African religions that were brought to the island of Cuba during the time of slavery. The repertoire includes a musical tour of the different polytheistic ethnic groups and religions that still exist today on the island, Yoruba, Bantu, Abakuá and Arará. Percussion and voice are the main elements of the proposal where the Hispanic influence is also evident in some of its touches especially in the rhythms of popular origin such as rumba, mozambique or carnival conga. The proposal was born as a continuation of the teaching work carried out by Nan Mercader, a Latin percussion teacher at Esmuc and a student of the Afro-Cuban music combo. Congas, bongos, timbales, bata drums, shekere, maracas and skeletons are its main instruments. The magical and spiritual songs, the strength of the drums, the hypnotic rhythms that lead to the paroxysm and above all the strength of the tribe and improvisation are the most prominent elements in the proposal.

Havana Club Rumba Sessions – The Drum – Episode 2 "I think the notion of the drum is energy.

Mini-doco: Cinco Changüiseros - Part 1
Mini-doco: Cinco Changüiseros - Part 1

Cinco Changüiseros - Part 1 Nino Olivares (marímbula player - Grupo Changüí de Guantánamo) "Cinco Changüiseros" is a musical documentary about Changüí - the traditional dance party music of Guantánamo Province, Cuba. Today's Salsa music and dance branched out from the vibrant tradition of Cuban Son. It is said that Changüí is the mother of the Son. Part 1 Nino Olivares This first of five parts of "Cinco Changüiseros" features the beloved elder of the Changüí community and former marímbula (is a plucked box musical instrument of the Caribbean) player for Grupo Changüí de Guantánamo - Nino Olivares. As the foremost proponent of this unique music, Grupo Changüí has toured extensively throughout Cuba and the world. For almost 50 years, Nino was an anchor member of the group on marímbula - the large box drum with metal keys from the mbira family of instruments that plays the role of the bass in Changüí. === In December of 2004, two novice filmmakers travelled to Eastern Cuba to study and document Changüí. By knocking on doors and making new friends, some of today's best Changüí musicians gladly gave interviews in their homes and performed in intimate settings. In this way, five central changüiseros shared their personal stories and illuminated the nature of this frequently mentioned, yet seldom understood music and dance form. The full length documentary film "Cinco Changüiseros" that resulted from this journey is an up close and personal journey to Guantánamo where the Changüí is alive and well === #nelsonson promoting afro-latin culture and music.

A little story / Una pequeña historia

Let’s bring a bit of AFRO-LATIN and CARIBBEAN flavour to NElSON! My name is Pablo (Pabs) and I've got 10+ years’ experience teaching Latin dance in Chile, New Zealand and Australia, where I was running classes for 2 years in Melbourne (including a performance team) and participating of a few Latin Dance festivals. After holding workshops in Christchurch, Dunedin, Wanaka (Nov 2017) and Invercargill (Jun/Jul 2018), with an amazing participation of more than 100 students, I’m sure that this will be the start of something good with Nelsonians.

But, why the name?...well, it is a play on words. You see...On one hand, its kind of saying that we are part of this beautiful city: Nelson’s son. And, the deeper meaning... Nikki (my life/dance partner) and I have one favorite Cuban style, called “SON”, hence the name!

The last 2 years in Australia we've been practicing and studying a few different types of dance that we would like to share with the local dance community: Son, Cha cha cha, Mambo, Bachata, Merengue, Afro-cuban, Afrobeat/house, Reggeaton, Cumbia and others Now that we are here to stay, we are excited to bring a group of people together, interested in this amazing art form and culture from different countries. We are very eager to share our knowledge with all of you, so DO NOT MISS OUT on this opportunity. 💃 😎 OUR CLASSES: - AfroLatin Fit / Mondays - Kizomba / Tuesdays - Traditional Cuban Casino / Wednesdays * keep an eye on parties, social dance, workshops, events and performances around Nelson.

// Check out our classes here in Meetup or go to the facebook group Latin Dance Nelson // We will also appreciate your support giving us a LIKE: NelsonSon - Afro & Latin Dance
