Recordings from a 10-day study project in Cuba led by Karla Mundy & Patty Cuyler, including songs performed for us by the Coro Cámara de Matanzas.
Alina Orraca (director of Schola Cantorum Coralina), Sandra Santos González & Maribel Nodarse (directors at Ensemble Vocal Luna) taught us eight Cuban choral arrangements during our initial five intense days of study in Vedado, Havana. We then performed short concert sets at the Havana Sacred Music Festival, with Vocal Luna at the First Presbyterian Church of Havana in Central Havana, and with the Coro Cámara de Matanzas in Matanzas. In our final days in Cuba we had dance and singing lessons with members of Los Muñequitos de Matanzas and Grupo AfroCuba de Matanzas,
