The Instructors:
Sita Frederick (Artistic Dir., Areytos Performance Works) is a choreographer, performer, and dance instructor of Caribbean and contemporary dance forms. She has studied traditional and social dances from Cuba, Haiti, & Dominican Republic with Ricardo Colon, Richard Gonzalez, Rosamaria Roberts, Pedro Raposo, Marily Gallardo, Ajna Kramer, Pupy Insua, Jean-Leon Destiné, Carolyn Web, Rebecca Bliss, Chino Pons and members of Cuban dance companies from Ban Rarra and Yoruba Andabo. Her latest dance-theater project, What Do You Dance On?, depicts the tension between Cuban and On 2 Salsa dancers in New York City.
Carlos Mateu - Although an artist-painter by trade, Carlos grew up in Cuba in a vibrant musical atmosphere, surrounded by musicians and musicologists. His great grandfather was Obdulio Villa (nick named Pabellón), one of the most famous saxophonists of the 1920's, who played worldwide with Moises Simon's band, composer of the internationally known song "The Peanut Vendor." Carlos learned to dance to traditional Cuban music (Danzón, Son, Cha-Cha-Chá, etc.) as a child from his Grandfather and Grandmother, as dance was integral to any and all family and social gatherings. In New York, Carlos has danced with a number of local dance groups, such as "Timba Loca", a Rueda de Casino dance group led by Karim Noak, and served as consultant for Sita Frederick's dance-theatre production "What Do you Dance On?"

Especial sobre EL BOLERO, un género musical con fusiones ibéricas y africanas que se instalan en el archipiélago cubano a finales del siglo XIX.
Clásica introducción de Teo Ramírez (Radio Felicidad 88.9 - Perú) quien se enfrasca en una tertulia musical dirigida por Mabela Martínez. Lo mismo sucede con los periodistas Eloy Jaúregui y Agustín Pérez Aldave.
Desde que mis sentidos percibieron a aquella aguja posarse en los surcos del disco de vinilo. Después de escuchar la voz del locutor y hasta en ese instante -desconocido bolero- me invadió como dicen, esa dulce alegría de 'estar triste', llamada melancolía.
Recordé aquella mágica escena de una tarde cualquiera en la que -desde un improvisado lugar- interrumpí el baile de dos enamorados que se sonrojaron como adolescentes después de ser descubiertos.
Bien lo escribió mi Padre en la portada del álbum fotográfico que compartía con 'Su Chula': « ¿Amores? a montones hay.. pero como el nuestro son muy pocos los que hay. »
No imaginan lo afortunada que me siento de haber sido espectadora de tan simple y bello momento.

Miguelito Valdes sings CELINA with the support of his own orchestra.
Miguelito started singing in the late 20’s performing with Sonora Matancera and other Cuban groups of the time. Later on he became the main singer of Orquesta Casino de la Playa. Then he left Cuba in the early 40’s to try his luck in New York City. He joined Xavier Cugat Orchestra who was performing at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Then around 1943 he started his solo career traveling wherever he was needed. He went to California with the sponsoring of Xavier Cugat who was really a Spaniard that live his early life in Cuba. Cugat was his sponsor to get an opportunity with Hollywood. Around 1955 he started his declined. Then around the late 60’s he was lucky to get another opportunity with his own television show. Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball were his sponsor at this time. His television show lasted around ten years. We cannot pinpoint when and in what city he was born in Cuba. Some people say that he was from Matanzas. We know that he died in 1978, of a heart attack while performing in Bogota, Columbia.
