I'm Cuban/ Puerto Rican from the Bronx who goes to Cuba every year so my kids can understand REAL Cuban cultura. This is the REAL face and culture of my island. You would never know that if you watched white washed American movies who make Cuba seem like Madrid. We are Caribbean people an Afro Latino island and people.

There's more to Cuban culture, it is PART of the Cuban culture, but there is more... As a Cuban who is not of African origin, I reject the idea that whenever the word CUBA comes to mind, it has always to be a black person singing to the Orishas. I don't have anything against this part of the Cuban culture, but there is more, there is more... Benny More is as real as this lady. Carlos Varela is as real as this lady. Keep looking, there is more. When you say this is the REAL culture of my island, that is an overstatement.

@@kuba2ve "I reject the idea that whenever the word CUBA comes to mind, it has always to be a black person singing to the Orishas", it should be that way though. Getting tired of those who came to hijack the island and til this day do culture appropriation to eventually claim after generations that they are at the source of this or that. Look at what happened to Native Americans, they've been decimated, and in a few decades who will remember them and their culture? "the real culture" means the source of the culture (Africa, whether one likes it or not), and the "more to it" you're talking about refers to what has been brought afterward by foreigners

@@mimid.8346 Oh, wait, I missed the last part. Are you really saying that the "more to it" is just imported stuff brought by foreigners? WOW! Please learn a little more about Cuban culture before saying something like that. Was mambo imported by foreigners? What about Son Cubano, Guaracha, Danzón, Clave? What about people like Felix Varela? Was Jose Marti imported? What about Celia Cruz, Willy Chirino? What about painters like Rene Portocarrero, Wilfredo Lam, many many others. But no, the world just wants to wipe off everything that is NOT black and singing to the Orishas as NOT part of the "Real cuban culture"... Well, guess what, I don't CARE AT ALL about Afro Cuban culture. I don't feel identified with it, I don't like it, I find it repulsive because it is praising false Gods, and even if I say that, I consider myself 100% Cuban. I have my right to say that. Whoever feels offended, has an issue with freedom of expression.

@@kuba2ve funny you're talking about offense when you're the one who felt offended by a comment of a lady willing to show the "real Cuba" to her kids. You can say you don't identify to something without denying it and check history, real history because you've been clearly brainwashed. It shows through your comment as, just to mention Jose Marti, he was the fruit of an importation with Spanish origins. You can get mad but the truth of the matter is that as long as you're part of the appropriation culture trending, you'll have a bias view on "real Cuba". You can consider yourself 100% real Cuban same as a Japanese can identify 100% real Ethiopian without getting mad at the origins of the Ethiopian culture. You have the right to say what you say & the same applies to me so I've said what I've said. Respectfully.

Extraordinarily sophisticated and unique patterns of songwriting and vocal technique. Clearly articulated 6 string bass. Complex piano foundation without a trace of showboat. Rafael Aldama and Jorge Luis Lagarza applaud Daymé Arocena at the end with such adoring modesty, even though their musicianship is masterful. An Astounding performance.

Work on your reading comprehension. The African element of her Afro Cuban culture or any Afro diaspora culture whether in Jamica, Brazil or Colombia is derived from traditional African cultire and spirituality, regardless of how it has evolved. That's a fact. And this should be acknowledged and celebrated. Afro Latino and African can look at each others culture and recognise a direct and strong connection. Yet you white people can't stand the mention or recognition of Africa and its so pathetic. You want to appropriate the culture and deny the obvious African foundation.

to me this woman epitomizes the essence of beauty inspiration art and creativity when I look at her and hear her I am uplifted My Soul and Spirit dance and sing along with her her beautiful smile lights up my mind I want to meet her in person she looks like the type of woman that spreads love and joy to one and all

What a beautiful performance... This is proof. The MORE America opens our boarders and out heart to the ENTIRE WORLD, the better the music (we get to hear) becomes, and the better the music becomes (that we are exposed to), the better and more open out hearts become.... America is at its BEST when we embrace all the people of the world.....

'El Ruso'..... what a journey of music in itself! Just pure beauty

Wow she exudes joy and beingness.

my biggest admiration for all three of them...odd meters in perfection - they just feel it

Decirles músicos no expresa la magnitud de esto, para mi son magos, me asombra la naturalidad y sencillez con que manejan tal grado de sofisticación, con total elegancia y gracia, no se escuchan las costuras entre los diversos ritmos, no se escuchan forzados ni artificiales, sino naturales y gozosos, mi absoluto respeto y admiración!

You see typical Yoruba look in her, even though she have leaves all her life in Cuba, But the spirit of Yoruba is still in her. Yemoja and Osun is Yoruba deities of Ocean. Yoruba believes in Mother Earth and forces of nature, Is balance between human existent and nature.

@@BluesBrogio It is, in Cuba. But she's not wrong either. It's a little different in Africa, which is the source of all this. When the orishas came over, they had to adapt, just like the believers they were following (there's a beautiful pataki about how Oshún, with the help of her sister Yemayá, crossed the ocean going after her sons taken into slavery). Lots of things got mixed up and simplified. That is why Santería is considered an Afro-CUBAN religion and not an African religion.

Eniola Apata She does have look between Yoruba and Asante(of Ghana). In Yoruba orisa Yemoja and Oshun are river deities,the Ogún River and Oshun River respectively. In the syncretized form of òrìsà that developed in Cuba, Brazil, Puerto Rico.., Yemoja became associated with oceans (the realm of Olokun in Yorubaland/Nigeria/Benin) and Oshun became known as the only river orisa, even though there are a number of them. Anyway, Lukumi/Santeria is considered an African syncretic religion with its very obvious roots in the religion/culture of the Yorùbá/Benin people. Those who combine it with the Palo Mayombe religion are getting that from the religion/cultures of the Congo area. Africa is a huge continent with many cultures/religions that are basically structured hierarchically the same, that is belief in an over-arching supreme (in Yorùbá called Olodumare), reverence for the Ancestors (Egúngún/Egún) and the higher beings created by Olodumare called òrìsà/orisha who interact/communicate with humans and occasionally incarnate among us. The “New World” Lukumi commonly call the òrìsà “saints” (hence Santeria and the appellation “Santo” but saints (human beings given higher spiritual status by a body of humans who officiate in the Catholic churches (Roman, Greek and Russian) are NOT the same as the higher beings, Irunmole and Imales, directly created by the Supreme, Olodumare. Even though this association was made during the Transatlantic Enslaved Persons Holocaust to be able to continue worship without onslaught of the Africans by the European Christians, Catholic saints ARE NOT African/Yoruba deities. In fact the saints are not deities at all. There is more to it, but this is basic. The main system of communication between the higher beings and humans is through the divination system known as Ifa, which is the province of the orisa of divination who is named Orunmila. In Benin, it is called Afa. There are a few other systems of divination also. Though there are practitioners of Santeria/Lukumi who would prefer to disconnect from their religious practice and beliefs from its Yoruba/Dahomey (Benin) roots and foundation (because of its intertwining with Christian denomination of Catholicism, its parentage and foundation will always be the Yorùbá culture. To deny, reject and divorce would be like the practice of the Roman Catholic denomination denying its foundation in Christianity_ludicrous.

Adri Ana Santeria, now more commonly known as Lucumi/Lukumi (a Yorùbá word, there is no letter “c” in Yoruba; the sound is delineated by a “k”; nor is there a “ch” sound but rather an “sh” sound_hence Oshun, not Ochun, Shango, not Chango. The ch application came more from “Indian” dialects rather than Spanish.
