La Rumba Me Llama: Festival de Música Afrocubana

Director and culture bearer Einar Leliebre Nuñez has selected top-notch musicians and dancers to perform at this one-of-a-kind Bay Area Festival! The audience will bring together Cubans, Caribbeans, Latinos, and people from the African Diaspora, as well as allies and supporters of culture from all walks of life, to be part of the participating audience.
