A few highlights from Afrolatino Travel’s Tambor-Rumba Community Day we had on December 30th. We are having another one on Thursday, March 17th, 2016 and Friday, May 27, 2016. We also take participants to Matanzas to learn about the history and contemporary manifestations of Ñañiguismo aka Abakua, an AfroCuban male “secret” society.
Our local guide is a practitioner of Yoruba and Abakua as well as a “son of Añá,” what Yoruba religion drummers are sworn as. We had an amazing fellowship! Our madrina, Franci, opened her home to us and the tamboreros even helped in prepared our amazing meal! Ashe! Co-edited by Nehad Khader and Rashid Zakat, Shot by Rashid Zakat
