11th CubaCaribe Festival: Lecture - De Curros a Especuladores: Black to the Future in Cuba by Umi Vaughan
CubaCaribe presents: The 11th Annual CubaCaribe Festival of Dance and Music
April 9 April 26, 2015 In Search of Soul
The acclaimed annual folkloric and contemporary dance and music Festival will feature three exuberant weeks of Caribbean dance and music performances, master classes, film screenings, lectures and celebrations throughout the Bay Area.
Lecture: De Curros a Especuladores: Black to the Future in Cuba by Umi Vaughan. This talk traces the relationship between a special class of black Cubans known as "Curros" from the island's colonial past and Cuban youth today. At issue is how shifts in Cuba's relationship with the outside world affect Cuban culture, economics, spiritual practices, etc., especially for black Cubans. Since history tends to repeat itself, this talk considers the past and present as a way to conjecture about Cuba's future.
