Comunidad <\/strong>(Community) is the title of the piece that the National Folklore Ensemble of Cuba<\/strong> is preparing to celebrate the 61st anniversary of the group, dedicated to the Congo dances and songs of Bantu origin that arrived in Cuba. They are also known as the Palo, Garabato, Yuca, Macuta dances and the Man\u00ed dance, which has almost disappeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This was confirmed in an interview with the portal Cubaescena by the young director Leiv\u00e1n Garc\u00eda, who wants to convey a message of social reflection through this dance piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00ab(…) To show a message from the people, that we are in times where unity is important to live. We need to think about the other, which is also the reason for the name, because it advocates unity and emphasizes the importance of the human being in today’s society (…)\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Leiv\u00e1n specifies that they will be using the music of maestro Alejandro Falc\u00f3n, who is already a true ally with his album Monte Espiritual, which for the first time fuses contemporary music with Congo music. \u00abWe will use the original yuca drums. We are also combining literature with the story Demonio sobre c\u00e9sped cortado by Taim\u00ed Di\u00e9guez, a young Cuban playwright.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00abWe are taking risks and experimenting, says the young artist, but with the hope that the result will be satisfactory, because, as Leiv\u00e1n says, the play also aims to promote the folklore of 2023.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n Translated by Luis E.
