jazz batá Afro-Cubano

Ocha Olufandei (twice-crowned King) celebrates the profound elements of ancestor recognition and herbal healing in Yoruba spiritual practice - traditions shared throughout West and Central Africa. Yoruba influence (from Nigeria) is deeply engrained in Cuban culture and identity and is ubiquitous in Cuban traditional and contemporary music and art. For Milton Cardona (RIP).
