How To Experience Afro-Cuban Culture When Visiting Cuba - Travel With Lady Chin

Afro-Cuban Funk is what you need! I’m Cimafunk and I believe in Groove therapy. I blend Afro-Cuban music with global funk, hip hop and soul, and whatever is necessary to make you dance. My name celebrates my heritage as a ‘cimarrón,’ Cubans of African descent who resisted and escaped slavery. This heritage infuses the essence of my music, eclipsing borders and subverting conventional sounds with rhythmic innovation. Turn the sound on and try it! | Cimafunk

🇨🇺 Afro-Cuban culture has deep historical roots, beginning with the transatlantic slave trade. These communities preserved their heritage through religion, music, and dance. Santería, blending African Yoruba beliefs with Catholicism, is practiced by an estimated 70% of Cubans. 💃🏽 Afro-Cuban influence is evident in Cuba's music and dance, with genres like rumba, son, mambo, and salsa rooted in African rhythms. Rumba was declared an Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 2016. 📚 Historical
