Cuba
Havana. Matanzas. The island where Yoruba survived everything. Eight days inside the living heart of Afro-Cuban identity.
The Drumbeat Never Stopped
Cuba is a living archive of the African diaspora. The Yoruba traditions that enslaved people carried across the Atlantic did not disappear here. They transformed. They went underground. They became Santería, rumba, the batá drum, the salsa. They became the rhythm of the entire island. Afro Jetset takes you past the classic cigars and convertibles and into the living heart of Afro-Cuban identity.
We cross the harbor to Regla and speak with a babalawo, a Yoruba priest, about what survival looks like across centuries. We take a private class in Matanzas, the cradle of Afro-Cuban culture, learning rumba and the batá drum from masters whose ancestors created them. We eat at a paladar that supports a community dance school. Our cigar maker is a cooperative of Afro-Cuban women. And we gather on the Malecón under the tropical night sky with young Cubans talking about identity, resistance, and what comes next.
