#travel cuba

“I had an amazing experience in Habana, greatly due to the local experience I received from the Afro-Cuba tour. AfroLatino Travel connected me with a local, who was there to answer any questions, help me navigate the city, help haggle to get the best prices for taxis, and find the best cheap, local food spots. He was awesome throughout the trip.

I felt like less like a tourist and more like a local on this trip.  I saw a great balance of the touristy Habana and the “real” Habana. I saw how people  actually live and would have regretted it had I not seen this, and not gotten a genuine experience.

I think the biggest highlight for me was seeing a Tambor, which is an Afro-Cuban religious ritual. It gives me great pride to see folks of all shades celebrating their African religion and seeing that they have maintained several African traditions.”

AfroCuban Yoruba Tambor Presentation -Havana

@rashidzakat beautifully captured one of our Tambor presentations where we explain each of the drums used for Yoruba Orisha worship during drumming ceremonies, the history and significance of these “toques,” songs, and chants through the patakins and demonstrations of how each Orisha dances. All artists are working musicians and practitioners of Yoruba, Palo Monte, and Abakua. Many of our clients from the Diaspora gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for rituals they always witnessed growing up but may have never known the meaning.

We have participants of various walks of life and many find stunning similarities between their spirituality and Yoruba! We invite you to delve deeper as we warmly invite you to a practitioner’s home, sharing space while respecting certain sacred elements that non-initiates should not be privy to, as this was a major reason for the religion’s survival. Go beyond the misconceptions portrayed of our ancestral legacies, straight from life-long practitioners.
