Nearly 3,000 Cubans have made London their home over the past decade and many of these settlers are linked one way or another to the world of culture, so perhaps there is some truth underlying the myth that Cubans carry their music and art deep within their veins.

Cuban musicians, writers, dancers, artists, and choreographers infuse the London cultural scene with the flavour of their Caribbean island. But, sadly, we speak of isolated events. Cubans living in London lack a place where they can interact as a community, a place where they can reinvent the Cuban alleys sizzling with the rhythm of drums and guitars, rum and dominoes.

El Rumbon Cubano was created to give the Cuban community in London a much needed space where nostalgia can be transformed into creative energy and the British audience transported to the intricate barrios of Havana where Cuban culture is in the making. So, to old and new friends of Cuban culture, welcome to El Rumbon Cubano.

We're looking forward to a very special evening

RUMBA PARTY ~ NOCHE DE RUMBA

Join us for an exceptional El Rumbon Cubano in March when we’ll be going back to our roots with a rumba special. Cubacheche launched this unique Cuban event nearly two years ago, with an amazing performance by one of the few bands in London playing authentic Cuban Rumba. Over the months we’ve had many requests to bring on the rumba again, so...

Dilanga will be doing just that on March 14^th - accompanied by five talented and exciting Rumba dancers:
Ariel Rios Robert, Ileana Cachon, Hannah Bates, Melissa Blanco and Jose Ramon. Show time 9-10 pm
