[NEohioPAL] The Reigning Regents of Rumba: Los Muñequitos de Matanzas – Wednesday, April 27 @ The Cleveland Museum of Art

[CMA Performing Arts]

Hailed by the media as the “reigning regents of rumba,” “the essence of Cuba’s musical soul,” and “truly keepers of a sacred flame,” Los Muñequitos de Matanzas are the undisputed masters of Afro-Cuban ritual music. Founded in 1952, the group is a veritable orchestra of rhythms. Three generations of dancer/singers of an extended family of musicians and dancers, the ensemble remains a seminal force in the development of Afro-Cuban dance, song, and percussion. Matanzas is the most vital African city in the Western Hemisphere, and the music of Los Muñequitos de Matanzas keeps alive 500 years of the vibrant culture of the African diaspora intrinsic to Cuba’s living legacy.
