History of the Rumba Festival
The Rumba Festival began in the mid-20th century as a tribute to the rich cultural heritage of Afro-Cuban music and dance. It brought together people who loved the vibrant rhythms of Rumba.
A group of passionate musicians and dancers decided to create a festival that would showcase the beauty of this traditional art form. They wanted to keep the spirit of Rumba alive for future generations.
This festival quickly gained popularity, spreading beyond its Cuban roots to become a global celebration. The founders aimed to unite people through the powerful beats and joyful movements of Rumba.
Over time, it became more than just a local event; it turned into a worldwide expression of cultural pride and unity. Today, the festival continues to grow, attracting participants from all over the world who come together to dance, sing, and celebrate the rhythm of life.
