Del Cafetal a la Tumba Francesa


CubAyiti. A brief documentary on Saint Dominguan and Haitian influences in eastern Cuba. Franco-Haitian influences played a large role in the coffee plantations, Afro-Cuban cultures, and music. Lots of beautiful footage of tumba francesa and background information on its African cultural influences (Angola, Congo, Yoruba, Dahomey, etc.). Here is a version with English subtitles.
