Festival for the Dead 1: Testimonials for the Ancestors & El Santísimo
Afrocuban
The introduction to the production “Festival for the Dead”. The production began with a multimedia sequence projected with live music followed by interviews footage of community members explaining their own connections to the ancestors.
For many cultures, death has always been felt with such finality. There are those, however, that have maintained a reverence and veneration for those that came before them. The Raíces Cultural Center's 2011 production Festival for the Dead: Ancestral Musical Traditions in the Diaspora explored Cuban and Brazilian drum, dance and song as they are used to pay homage and give praise to the ancestors in everlasting celebration.
