Manana
Creating live collaborative projects between Afro-Cuban musicians and electronic producers.
MANANA//Cuba is a groundbreaking festival, events production company and record label that connects the electronic music community to masters of Afro-Cuban folkloric tradition.
The project is built around the belief that Cuba’s powerful blend of rhythm and culture will enrich the electronic music community, while giving local musicians a platform to connect with international audiences, incorporate technology and take their musical development in new directions. MANANA (Ma’na’na) is a Cuban word that is deeply rooted in local Rumba culture. Put simply, it is the flow of an artist and the spiritual connection with their audience.
Manana is presenting Cuban/Iranian electronic quartet ARIWO on the 25th October at 11:15PM. Don't miss it!

[The Wire]

[Pitchfork]
