Spirit of the Earth

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

The opening concert of the festival, live from the Adrian Boult Hall of the Birmingham
Conservatoire.
Los Munequitos de Matanzas, one of the most famous Afro-Cuban groups in Latin America, performs music of the Lucumi religion. The roots lie on both sides of the Atlantic - gods from the African Yoruba religion paired with Catholic saints - hence its other name, Santeria. During the interval, Lucy Duran talks about music in Cuba today with Donald Macleod and the festival director
William Robson.
