Rumba festivals

Also known as Rumba Cubana

Rumba is the Afro-Cuban drum and voice tradition underlying most Cuban dance: three forms, yambú, guaguancó and columbia, played on cajones or tumbadoras over a clave. It is secular, social and improvised, and UNESCO listed it as intangible cultural heritage in 2016. A festival with a rumba room is usually one with live percussion.

24 upcoming festivals across 10 countries.
