CubaCaribe – now in its 21st year –  announced its 18th Annual Festival of Dance & Music featuring two weeks of world premieres, performances, master classes, and celebrations at venues in San Francisco.

Weekend One: Mixed Program at Museum of the African Diaspora

Seven local dance companies will create original choreography rooted in the Caribbean and its Diaspora based on the curatorial vision, Acts of resistance, Acts of joy. These artists will explore and answer the questions: Where are the two acts visible in your culture? How do we resist? How do we find and express joy?  The performing groups are Yamulee Project San Francisco, Folklo Ayisyen Lakay, Agua Doce Dance, Rueda Con Ritmo, Los Lupeños de San José, Cunamacue, Herencia Guantanamera, Marco Palomino & Fredrika Keefer and Grupo Experimental Nago.
