ORISHAS
Música Para Danzar CD
produced by
the Academy of Cuban Folklore and Dance
Recorded in Santiago de Cuba in 2006, this CD features the most
outstanding members of the internationally renowned Ballet Folklórico
Cutumba, one of Cuba’s most vibrant folkloric dance troupes.
This recording was produced with the idea of helping students of
Orisha dance to deepen their understanding of the music & develop
more confidence & independence.
The tracks consist of commonly heard toques with clearly defined
transitions. For example, Elegguá follows a very simple progression
from La Topa to Ynongo to Chachalokuafun. After learning the distinct
steps & figures of each toque, dancers can develop their own
choreographies and thoroughly enjoy danzando para los Orishas.
