CubaCaribe Festival honors role of women
The 13th CubaCaribe Festival of Caribbean dance and music, which runs nine days from Thursday, March 30, to April 7, will include seven world premieres, master classes, film screenings, lectures and celebrations at Brava Theater and Museum of the African Diaspora.
The theme of this year’s festival is “Manos De Mujeres,” and it will look at the role of women in our society — a fitting topic. Thursday’s opening-night panel discussion is called “Movers and Shakers: Bay Area Women Making a Difference in the Arts.”
Among those performing this weekend are Almazonica, Los Lupeños, Cunamacué, Amor Do Samba, Batala SF and Dimensions Extensions Performance Ensemble, Arenas Dance Company, Cuicacalli Youth Dance Company, Maracatú Pacifico, Bolivia Corazón de América and Quenepas.
