Huge rumba parties, street fiestas as well as panel discussions, dance classes, and spiritual tribute to the Yemaya goddess of the Yoruba religion will make this festival unforgettable.
The festival features three main Cuban rumba styles—“guaganco”, “columbia” and “yambu.” Join one of the numerous gatherings at famous Havana's clubs and venues and let the rumba rhythms fill your body and soul.
