Nilda Guerra’s acclaimed Cuban company Ballet Rakatan brings a slice of Havana flavour to London as high-octane Cuban dance combines with an awe-inspiring Cuban band in this spectacular new show direct from the world’s most soulful city.
From the sexy, spontaneous rumba to the slick footwork of the cha-cha-cha, this is a show that’s guaranteed to get heads nodding and feet tapping. Set to live Cuban music courtesy of Cuba’s well-known son band Turquino, Havana Rakatan is a captivating journey through the dance and music of a truly unique country.
Beginning with the Cuban fusion of Spanish culture and African spiritual beliefs, choreographer Nilda Guerra takes us through a rich mix of flamenco, Yoruba and Afro-Haitian rhythms, before moving on to the modern forms of salsa that originated in the early twentieth century salon dances.
Jazz, mambo, bolero, son, cha-cha-cha, rumba and salsa all come alive in a dazzling dance display of Cuban passion.
