This book explores as never before all the facets of the fascinating universe of rhythms and "born to dance" artists of the Big Island. It traces Cuban dance from its origins through colonialism and from the Revolution to the present day. Before the advent of Fidel Castro, the voluptuous life of cabarets (i.e. Sans Souci or Tropicana) reigned supreme in the pulsating heart of Havana. The world's greatest actors, dancers and singers came to perform in Cuba. Italian and French-style theaters billed the world's greatest opera divas, ballets and concerts. After 1959, Castro took over all aspects of the sector and promoted the more authentic Afro-Cuban oral culture, aimed to appeal to all the population. Cubanía became country, homeland, identity. A magnificent tradition of classical ballet is still vital in Cuba today. The Escuela Nacional de Ballet produces exceptional dancers each year. There is also a vigorous modern and contemporary dance culture. Cuban folk, yoruba and popular dances also continue to dazzle. In a single volume, Cuba Danza is the one and only complete reference.
