La Rumba
The dances of Cuban Rumba are rich in variety: La Columbia is considered to be a very ancient type of rumba, which developed from the rhythms of Abakua rituals. In theory, the dance involves a single male dancer. It entails acrobatic figures that attest to masculine courage.
Le Xambu is a rumba with a slow tempo, where the dancers imitate the movements of elderly people.
Le Guaguanco is a dance of courtship and a game of seduction with erotic overtones. A man and a woman alternately attract and then repel each other with sensual grace.

Corsican Polyphony
Tristan Morelli
The oral tradition of Corsican vocal polyphony is wide open to expression through its various forms. The rawness and vitality of these songs take you on a journey to the depths of an often underappreciated Corsica, which is as mountainous as it is welcoming, as astonishing as it is generous.
