Cuba Film at Central Cinema
Tomorrow night (Thurs Dec 8) at Central Cinema (21st Ave & Union St) at 7:00 p.m. they are showing When the Spirits Dance Mambo. According to CC “This film documents the integral role of West/Central African sacred thought and practice rooted in the cultural life of Cuban society. It is a victorious journey—a tribute to the spiritual energy that traveled from West/Central Africa to Cuba to the mambo explosion in the 50s in New York City. The camera takes the audience on a journey through the various provinces of Cuba. Moreover, it partakes of Carnival in Santiago De Cuba, street rumbas, old-timers performing Cuban son, religious ceremonies, the Cuban countryside, and much more.ā€¯
The film will be followed by dance and discussion. For more info see the Central Cinema website.
