Out of one of Havana's worst neighbourhoods come seven young women dedicated to break the historic male domination in the field of Rumba - Diunis (the group's leader), Ada, Amile,Barbara, Greidy, Hilda,& Osmary. Together they become Rumba Morena. Rumba Morena was formed in 1997 with the objective to draw attention to women’s abilities as percussionists and their participation in rumba and folkloric festivals accross the length and breadth of Cuba. |
