This is an intoxicating show featuring Cuban music and dances that gives you the feeling of being part of a great party night in the streets of Havana.

The full use of physical strength and the lively dance style are contagious and intoxicating. The interplay with the new generation of musicians from Cuba absolutely celebrates today's Cuban street life and infects the audience with a high-spirited cheerfulness. With dance and music, Havana Rumba! celebrates the past and present of rumba - from the roots in the African fertility dance which was once danced by slaves on the sugar cane plantations to the rumba finding its way to the shipyards of Havana and Mantanza to today's rum-filled rumba nights in Havana's streets. The quality and exuberance of the dancing is staggering. Havana Rumba! offers an exhilarating and infectuous slice of today's Cuba.
