Based in Santiago de Cuba in the tropical eastern seaboard of the island, Cutumba performs energetic and athletic Afro-Cuban folkloric and sensuous Cuban traditional dance, music and song ranging from African Gagß to traditional Cuban son. Since its founding in 1960, Cutumba has been dedicated to the research and professional performance of authentic Afro-Cuban dance, music and song originating in the Oriente region of Cuba. Throughout its extensive repertoire, Cutumba has faithfully recreated the key elements at the heart of the Afro-Cuban identity and has added its own fresh interpretation in terms of stunning theatricality and costume design. It is due to the authenticity of their performances in historic and social terms that Cutumba has earned its well-deserved reputation as the premier folkloric company of Cuba.
