The Company Mission:
Jose Garcia, Drum maker (Santamarias Cuban Style Conga), aficionado of AfroCuban music and dance, & CEO of Orisha Productions videotapes live on location the best Cuban folklorico music available. Much will be of the best known groups in Cuba. There is a world of true Afrocuban music that to date has been exposed to only a few lucky people. Our goal is to video tape the great wealth of Cuban Rumba and music of the Santos and make it available to everyone that is curious or are aficionados of this great music.
About this video
A cabildo is perhaps equivilant to a club house or a private club.since the earliest of times, all the slaves from a particular tribe would gather at the cabildo to socialise and maintain their religious ceremonies and other social events. This particular performance was in the evening,and even though it was a performance I chose to call this video: Tarde en Cabildo because it features the entire family performing a number of rumba numbers. It's is hard to point out the songs because they mix a religious tunes with rumba time. One tune in this video is called Por los Mayores or For the elders and features yambu amongst other tunes.
