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

Los Muñequitos de Matanzas have grown in popularity that is beginning to rival that of the, Buena Vista Social Club. And well deserved. Celebating fifty years of being together as an extended family and musical group has garnered them the respect amongst music lovers everywhere. Their performance in the grammy award winning cd, La rumba Soy yo, is further evidence of that. I went to Matanzas specifically to video tape them in their environment. And the result is seen in this excellent video. More footage is sure to provide another , maybe two more videos. They perform a guaguanco,and a columbia which is in 6/8 time.
