Item
- Title
- Isnavi's columbia
- Description
- This performance was recorded on August 13, 2008 at the Yoruba Association of Cuba in Havana. The group, Oba Ilú, plays a columbia, a type of rumba performed by solo dancers, who take turns. Traditionally the dance has been a kind of competition among men. However, some folklorists claim that when the dance originally emerged in rural Matanzas province, women also danced. This is disputed. Here, Isnavi takes a turn, challenging the view that women should not perform columbia.
