RUMBA!!! pero the REAL RUMBA




let me set the scene: Havana, Cuba's Callejon de Hamel, an alley in the middle of the city that an artist has restored with AfroCuban religious imagery. Every weekend, the best rumba troupes from across the island come there to GO OFF! notice that I capitalized that. I'll do it again GO OFF! best enjoyed with some ice cold cerveza Cristal (i hate beer, but Cristal tastes like heaven). check out the dancing, it's incredible. there was one crew that took a doo wop song and FLIPPED IT guaguanco style. but enough words, feel the music.
