Una noche de música cubana is an invitation to experience the cultural wealth of the island of Cuba through all the senses. If you have ever been curious about Cuban culture, this is your opportunity to explore and engage with an excellent movie, traditional food and live music from Afro – Cuban Dimensions, all in just one night.
The evening will begin with a special screening of the classic Cuban documentary We Are the Music (Nosotros La Música), a vivid panorama of the island’s music and dance legends from the early 1960s, featuring the likes of Ignacio Villa, Celeste Mendoza, Ana Glorai, Charanga Francesa and many more. Made in 1964 by Rogelio Paris, the film can be considered the unofficial father of Buena Vista Social Club.
After the screening, join us in the atrium for traditional Cuban food, live music from Afro-Cuban Dimensions and of course every opportunity to dance!
Tickets $15 include film, music and food — mojitos extra.
