JOURNEY FROM MATANZAS TO CIENFUEGOS to HAVANA. Matanzas is the heart of African culture in Cuba-the music, the religion, the way of life. In Matanzas, we visit Cuba's #1 rhumba group--Los Munequitos de Matanzas. Nearby, in the town of Jovellanos, five generations of an extended family perform music originally from Dahomey in West Africa. Traveling to Cienfuegos on the southern coast, we hear a wonderful new son group and visit with its 80 year old tres player who has a story or two to tell. Back in Havanawhat else? More music!
