CubAfrica Dance Party
The Backstage Lounge, 1585 Johnston, Granville Island, VancouverAfter a successful first edition in August, we are thrilled to present our second edition with percussion masters Israel Toto Berriel from Cuba and Yoro Noukoussi from Benin. Virtually all Cuban music has been influenced by African rhythms. Cuban popular music has strands from both Spain and Africa, woven into a unique Cuban cloth. Replying back to its source, in the 1950's, Cuban music had a big influence on the music of West & Central Africa, completing a circle where dancing rhythms are kings and queens. A dance party like no other. 10:30pm/10$
