With our rumba documentary making it’s way abroad to screens dotted across Europe, we’ve got together a list of all the screenings coming up to make sure no one misses out on a screening at a cinema near them. Running over the course of the next few months, ‘Havana Club Rumba Sessions: La Clave’ is worth checking for anyone interested in learning about the roots of Cuban music.
Produced in collaboration with the Havana Cultura, the film is one part of the latest chapter in the longstanding relationship between Gilles Peterson and Havana Cultura. The film features interviews with key figures across the island's musical generations. It's an insight into rumba's continued significance in a country where a carefully preserved past has long sat side-by-side with exciting innovation. The film is about tracing the through lines running from slave communities' spiritual drumming practises, the dancers and musicians who've preserved those traditions, through to the younger generation who've plucked out and re-contextualised the elements most exciting to them.
