Creole Choir Of Cuba Begins US Tour in Chicago
30 Performances in 21 Cities
(The Creole Choir of Cuba - view the rest of the photos here)
This mighty chorus of ten singers, dancers and percussionists from Camagüey is one of the most distinctive groups from Cuba that we've heard in years. We saw their opening concert in Chicago, and you can read our full review here. You don't speak Creole, you say? They really are good enough that you won't care. The always-industrious Timbera Mayor has posted their tour schedule here. Cuba's Creoles originally came from Haiti a couple of centuries back, both the language and the music are distinct, and this group represents and preserves an aspect of Cuba's cultural mosaic that most North Americans haven't been exposed to before. Catch them if you can.
