In the "Little Africa" neighborhood called El Simpson in Matanzas, Cuba the children start learning the drums when they are toddlers. By the time they are 8 or 9, they have their hands washed to Aña and are proficient at güiro and bembe. Orlandito, the boy at the end of this clip, was 10 when this segment of "La Fuerza del Tambor" was filmed.

  • very nice piece and good work, this is the type of generational teaching and passing down the needs to occur everywhere, this is what has allowed the tradition to spread and become what it is today all over the world, they have made a very good point and the interviewer has hit this point on the head, e ku se (very good work)
