    Jan 29 2026

    En este episodio, Alfredo García conversa con Joel Herrera, bailarín y músico profundamente conectado con la tradición afro-cubana.
    Desde su infancia en Matanzas, rodeado de rumba, familia y celebración, hasta su camino por escenarios internacionales, Joel comparte una historia marcada por la cultura, la disciplina y el fuego ancestral.

    Hablamos de sus raíces, de cómo la música formó su identidad desde niño, de su paso por el ejército, su llegada a Italia y su formación con grandes maestros del folklore cubano.
    También exploramos su conexión espiritual con la danza Abakuá, una expresión poderosa de la herencia afro-cubana.

    Más que una entrevista, este episodio es un viaje por la memoria, el ritmo y la esencia de una cultura que se vive con el cuerpo y el corazón.

    Si amas la danza, la música y las historias reales que nacen de la tradición, este episodio es para ti.

  • #19 What Afro-Cuban Really Means
    Jan 22 2026

    What people often call “afro” in salsa classes actually has a name: Afro-Cuban.Afro-Cuban culture is not Africa copied.It is Africa transformed.It was shaped through transculturation, resistance, and creativitywithin the context of European colonization.Its roots come mainly from African regions that are todayNigeria, Benin, and Congo.Orisha, Arará, Palo, Abakuá, Rumba, Salsa —all of this together forms Afro-Cuban culture.And the body carries this history.Ashe & bendiciones.

  • #18 What AFRO really means in the salsa world.
    Jan 15 2026

    The word “afro” is used everywhere in the salsa community.But very few people actually know what it means.In this video, I want to bring clarity and awareness , not correction.Because Afro is not a style.Afro means Africa.Africa is a continent with thousands of cultures, rhythms, and ways the body moves.Understanding the roots of what we dance changes the way we move,the way we listen, and the way we connect.This video is about less confusion and more education.Ashe & bendiciones.
