  • So, what's being filmed here is a spontaneous possession, is that right? Is the spirit identifiable by the dancers behavior or movements?

  • It's actually a rumba, just party, but when they start dncing they get carried away, so yes it is a possession but not of anyone orisha in particulart

  • sigo diciendo k barbarito el de los munekitos es uno de los mejores pa no decir el mejor de todo cuba en cuanto a musika afrocubana concierne....mi humilde opinion

  • Pienso yo que cada grupo tiene lo suyo. Me encantan todos. Para la rumba me encanta Los munequitos, para congo arara etc. Los de afrocuba de matnzas. Para el baila de rumba Los que bailan por Afrocuba son estrellas de verdad. Don Jos

  • yea, mine too. The entire video is an hour or so and it's the very first one I filmed of them. I was extremely lucky with the limited conditions to be able to capture that great footge. don Jose

  • Gracias, si son tremendo, lastima que no fue posible a usar una camara grandem vale la pena, pero los condiciones no fue posible. DON JOS

  • it sounds like african song, nice it just remind me of my beloved africa

  • When the music hits you feel no pain...letting go and "feeling" is better than any drug on the market.

  • Straight up nasty playing!! Wow this is great stuff!! Thanks bro!!

  • son una pasada total, buenisimos parece que se vallan a romper, sienten tanto la musica que entran en una sicronizacion pefecta que puede tranportarte a donde quieras !!! es algo que solo sabe el bailarin

  • Thanks for sharing. Columbia in it's rawest form. The energy of a rumba, when everyone *connects*, is absolutely phenomenal, unlike anything I've ever experienced. I get goosebumps and get lightheaded just watching this.

  • one of my favorites! awesome! thanks for sharing!

  • I love it!! ASe!!! Thank you for sharing.

  • Recogiendo las espresiones y simbolos atraves de los mivimientos corporales podemos decir que estos ritos son manifestaciones culturales que cultiva el grupo afrocuba matanzas para perpetuar la cultura que por años se ha intentado eliminar.

    Admiro el trabajo de este grupo y le brindo con reverencia mi respeto.

  • this is really great footage!!!! is there any way you can reupload? youtube compresses less nowadays, back in 2007 files really got butchered! it'd be great to be able to see folks expressions on their faces! love AfroCuba de Matanzas....

  • @jackhincham In this kind of dances ,always can happen spiritual connections whith our ancestors from africa, deidades

  • Dobre!
